6/12/2023 0 Comments The deep novel alma katsuRegardless of the actual historical facts, the events have become mythologized. The sinking of the Titanic (and, to a lesser extent, its sister ship, the Britannic) occupy a very specific place in the public imagination. But it seemed like a grand challenge, and I love a writing challenge. It’s so well-known and held in such esteem by so many people that you risk displeasing some of them, no matter what you do with the story. There’s arguably no greater disaster in most people’s minds than the Titanic so it seemed the logical thing to tackle, though daunting. Not to sound too callous but it’s got to be the right disaster, to have the right elements for a novel (mystery, adversity, challenge, and triumph it can’t be all doom and gloom). What drew you to the sinking of the Titanic and the Britannic?Īfter The Hunger, the natural question was what big disaster will you turn to next? But answering this is harder than it appears.
