ReplyDeleteOOh, how exciting. I'm envious. That's a subject much closer to my heart than sex in literature. I'll write a post for my blog to tie in if I may?
ReplyDeleteI've received more comments about the violence in my work than the sex by a long chalk. Whilst I was writing The Man Who Painted Agnieszka's Shoes I even temporarily modified a scene in which a graffiti artist peels the skin from the a man's elbows, knees and wrists and slices his ligaments one by one in response to comments from people who clearly weren't my readership. The experience left me feeling dirty and like I'd betrayed everything I stand for. Needless to say the passage is back in the published version - the subject of the book is the saving power of pain in a world gone numb
Dan, I did an open call for anyone interested in contributing for this Topic, I am so sorry you missed it. I look forward to reading your tie in post, and comments on the topic throughout the month (Hopefully) x
ReplyDeleteI shall be in to comment oodles :) Sorry I missed the call - my web presence has been rather sporadic for health reasons the past few months
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are feeling much better, and soon my friend. xo
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting.
