"Fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners."
- Virginia Woolf
Fiction's spider plays. She abandons her web the moment she senses the writer's approach, enticing him to explore her sticky trap. And then she returns, then she bites. Instead of devouring him, though, she leaves him stuck on a one genre web. She knows from experience that most writers never escape. Fewer still even try.
