Thoughts on Bestsellers
Strangely, I ran across an essay I wrote for my MFA final paper at Iowa, posted on the Internet by someone who claims to be Nina Siegal, but who is not me. It was nice to see it there — frankly, I’d forgotten all about it — and in some ways it expresses my philosophy about writing, especially my thoughts about the importance of reviving so-called “genre” fiction as part of the literary canon. It’s actually pretty relevant to my first novel and my motivation for writing it as I did.
The essay can be found here on BLOGSPOT. Take a look. I’d be interested to hear your comments on the subject, if you’re interested in adding your thoughts.
cheers,
Nina
