The writer talks to Thom Waite about the twisted morality of fiction and how to make it as an aspiring author

take place in a series of NYC offices, where the narrator, debut author Caleb Horowitz, negotiates a legal agreement with his literary agent and a reticent lawyer .

This story comes at an interesting time for the publishing industry and, more specifically, for discourse about who can lay claim to a narrative. The recently-published Thom Waite: You’ve written for the tech industry for some time. What inspired you to enter the world of fiction? The other side of it is commerce, which is a little more obvious, but how it affects things is a little more diffuse and surprising. Every publishing house wants to sell as many books as they can, and that often leads to some pretty ridiculous marketing copy, covers, use of the artist’s identity. Books have a meta-narrative to them, at least the ones that become popular, that doesn’t always align with what the book actually is.

I don’t know if you could possibly create a realistic character purely from your imagination. Same thing goes with any art. Does there exist a painter who can paint a face strictly from their imagination, not making a composite of people they know, and have that pass muster? I don’t think that’s how imaginations work, I don’t think they generate, I think they take and mix. That’s part of the artistic process. I think that’s why this is never going to end.

Edible insect industry in limbo due to confusion over post-Brexit trade lawWhen the UK officially left the EU in early 2020, no transition had been agreed for the edible insects industry and, while traders in Europe were able to continue, UK traders were not. I follow Sky News entirely for headlines like this one. Save the edible insect industry! yeah, that's why it's 'in limbo'
