@davefreersf That's why I wrote my first. It was in 2015-2016 though and there was a dearth in scifi and I wanted humorous character-driven operatic speculative fiction. Then I did no PR for it and it has been sitting on Kindle ever since. https://t.co/1SJMjjyRJn
@Justin_A_Talven@asnauthor@pensandpoison You can but then you're either head hopping or switching to omniscient. This might not be to your taste, but maybe just consider that he won the Booker prize, which may indicate that objectively it's not "bad writing". That doesn't mean one has to like it.

@asnauthor@pensandpoison Sorry, but because it's third-person limited, if István doesn't know it's a magic salamander, then the reader doesn't get to know. Them's the rules. I haven't read the book but I like this excerpt, so I guess "written poorly" is a matter of taste.
@asnauthor@pensandpoison It doesn't matter what kind of animal it is. If the character's don't know, it's not important, and it's not third-person omniscient.

@pensandpoison lol this is good though. I guess if your entire personality is based on the fact that you read Dostoyevsky and nobody anymore writes like Dostoyevsky and omg guys did I mention I read Dostoyevsky you're never going to be fucking satisfied.
