Assumptions:
Often times, novels come from the main
character's point of view and thus, we only know what he or she wants us to
know. Therefore the actual author is
twice removed from fallacies as well.
Much like the Wizard an author can many times hide behind the curtain of
viewpoint illustrated in character. In
reality are all residents of the Emerald city so naïve they never question a
wizard that is rarely seen? Moreover,
most don't really want to go back to the proverbial "Kansas" - Isn’t that why there are so many
stories of Hooking on the streets of Hollywood?
My position as a Reader:
I’m more the “how to” book reader with a tad of
politics and ecology. Not into novels
too much. Sometimes I enjoy a spy novel
or a comedy. Sometimes stories that deal
with real-life struggles in well articulated time periods. Fantasy
novels, waaaay back when I was a teenager but not so much anymore. I
think I tend to stay within my comfort zone by this age and sometime I need to stretch
my literary noggin’ more than I do.
