It’s hard for novelists to come up with a twist we haven’t read in some way, previously.
J.R.R. Tolkien managed it with Lord of the Rings; so did J.K. Rowling, creator of the Harry Potter series.
Otherwise, we’ll read something “new” and say, “Oh, it’s just like XYZ.”
CHANDLER BAKER podcast excerpt: “I originally thought I was going to be a bioethicist. My debut novel was about heart transplants and dealt with some of the ethics around that. These bioethical issues keep coming up in my (legal) work so I didn’t have to do a ton of research, except to come up with a way the resurrection technology could really work.”
Or, “Did you ever read Sinclair Lewis? This new title is like Babbitt, only it takes place in Des Moines with rodeo clowns.”
I just read This Is Not The End by Chandler Baker and, honestly, it’s not like anything else I can ever remember reading before. Who knew resurrection politics and ethics could be so complicated – and entertaining?
