The book I read is about a wealthy family in Scotland interacting with some Scottish Travellers and being Good and Right about things having to do with them and not Prejudiced and Bad and Mean. There’s a huge amount of unconsidered privilege that never gets addressed or resolved, even though that would have made a great story. The main character never develops at all. It’s all so weird. And she goes around kissing absolutely everyone, from a brother and sister both, to the guy fixing up her house, to a drag performer, to the violent authority figure threatening her friends. She never grasps anything about anything she does. It’s MADDENING.

So that’s fun. Let’s study how not to write flat, on the nose, what you see is what you get scenes!

Sacred cheese of life!
