68 - Boronian Out of Water - Interview with Ross Buzzell

Listen Later

In Ross’s latest book we see a man displaced from all he finds familiar adjusting to a new world he knows only through academic study. In this process we as readers learn much about his world as he explores ours.

Key Takeaways:

  • Don’t fear a good trope. Fish out of Water, as discussed here, can operate as a great way to convey your setting that focuses on character development and growth rather than rote exposition.
  • Make use of your characters to refine your setting by reverse engineering it. Remember that similarities can say as much as differences.
