“The inner landscape is something fiction can do far better than any other narrative art”: Tim Weed with Art Hutchinson on travel, reality, and his new collection, A Field Guide to Murder and Fly Fishing.
Author Tim Weed discusses how fiction as a medium differs from other narrative arts like film and television.
“Here’s the thing about writing historical fiction: you’re not trying to reconstruct or mimic history, which would be altogether boring even if it weren’t impossible. What you’re trying to do is to create a new version of it that will tell a good story while simultaneously capturing something essential, not only about the period, but also about contemporary life.”
“I write about these environments for the same reason I’ve put myself in them so many times. It’s a heightened experience. Things are unfamiliar and exciting and you get to redefine yourself, if only briefly.”
