Episode 428: All in the Details - How to Use Description in Speculative Fiction part 1
Manage episode 438505500 series 2365880
Part 1 of a 2 part episode
The dragons are back and gearing up for spooky season. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at the thorny issue of 'details'. Speculative fiction can, by it's very nature, require extensive world building which in turn requires plenty of detail. But how do you know what to include or exclude? How much detail should you go for? Is there such a thing as too much detail?
On the slab this week - The Book of Strange New Things - Michel Faber, Fire & Hemlock and Howl's Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones, Lorna Doone - R D Blackmoore and many more.
Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic
