Description: Does a writer’s talent correspond to his or her ability to sell books? Dan kicks around the idea, rejects It, and continues his thoughts on irony: how it can turn a narrative voice into something insipid and/or snarky. Also, he defends George Lucas and with that argument finds himself spilling into an unlikely defence of P.L. James…kind of.   Selections: The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary, One Vol. Edition by J.R.R.
