In addition to dialogues like the one we've had this week, one of my goals for Write About Now is to post the occasional Q & A. If you've ever wanted to get my opinion on something, or to demand an explanation of something I've said, this is your opportunity. Just e-mail me the question and let me know if you'd like to be anonymous (in which case you get an inventive pseudonym) or use your real name.
Our inaugural question comes from an avid reader whom I'll dub Quentin:
Q. "I was wondering if you might do a post on Write About Now about the use of multiple narrators in fiction - such as in Kenneth Fearing's The Big Clock, or several of Douglas Coupland's more recent novels - though not in the sense that Elizabeth Kostova uses the technique in The Historian. I ask because I'm preparing for a new novel where I'm strongly considering it; but I wonder if it would be a disastrous idea to try to pitch to an editor, and its seldom written about in books on writing."
