Internet Fiction
The internet is a huge part of our lives, but putting it into our fiction can be difficult. Many writers leave it out of their stories entirely. Others try to incorporate it into their work with awkward results. How should our fiction handle the internet? Should our fiction try to handle the internet at all? Cartoonist RE Parrish joins us to talk about the uneasy marriage of writing and the internet\u2014incorporating the internet into fiction, using the internet as a medium for fiction, and why it’s so hard to write a good social media epistolary novel.
