Yes..(I have lectured before about a related reading technique I call vocal training; I can publish those notes as a Substack essay sometime if that would be of interest.)
Just wanted to say that I giggled when I read 'cats; cambridge; hell' and also wishing you a pleasant new year! I'm really excited to read yellowface in the new year ;)
Have you read āJonathan Strange & Mr. Norrellā? I think it matches what youāre looking for, since the writing is close to Neil Gaimanās, it has rival magicians like āThe Prestigeā, the humor is nonsensical, and it features an original story interwoven with historical facts like your previous work.
Iād love to read the notes on vocal training! š„°
Me too!
Me three!
I would love to hear more about the planning/research/ideation process youāre going through for your next book!
100% would love to read about your reading technique to write Babel

love JS&MN. it was one of the inspirations for BABEL!
omg I was already sure I was gonna love it, but knowing it was partially inspired by JS&MN only makes me that more anxious to read it.
(also: Iām the sensitive reader for the Poppy War series translations here in Brazil. hi! āŗļø)

so excited for the next books everything you write is gold
