Seeing and unseeing 15 Oct 2018

Sometimes I’ll come across an idea or a metaphor in fiction writing that single-handedly restores my faith in literature to do what non-fiction can’t, to illuminate by stepping just outside of what is understood, re-frame radically within a fictional universe that shakes things so hard that my world shifts, too.
