making things easy for the reader
"I don't care about quotation marks and directing the reader and making things easy for the reader. I don't want my fiction to be an example of the MFA style of 'show, don't tell,' of giving the reader a window onto reality, of lending a sense of transparency to the prose. Stylistically, I wanted something dense, image-heavy, and digressive, because I like those things."
