Of course, I agree with you and I also agree with the points Soveig made during class about striking the proper balance - after all, without compelling character background, you're basically left with a screenplay - and (potentially) a whole bunch of flat characters. <br /><br />I think the genius of the Wolff piece is that he did provide background for the characters - via action and dialogue; he just didn't offer any specifics and allowed the reader to unconsciously create those specifics without interrupting the story's forward progress. Pretty neat trick, if you ask me. It's an approach not for everyone - certainly not always for me or even Wolff for that matter (read his masterpiece "In the Garden of the North American Martyrs" if you don’t believe me!). <br /><br />But when stories begin to slow and drag and stumble (as my current story is doing!) then it might be time to stop peeling and start chopping. ;-)Jim Mathewshttp://www.jamesmathewsonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640750381232561649.post-71870078779001538442012-06-02T17:22:25.919-07:002012-06-02T17:22:25.919-07:00Harley, I like how you bring evidence to support t...Harley, I like how you bring evidence to support two points. I agree that a lot of background is about as unwelcome as landscape and weather. The writer, however, needs to know the background of his/her characters.
