Making the Book #002: Revelation (Video)
Making the Book is a Web video series where I read and discuss my written work. Each week, I look back at how the stories I’ve published came to be and offer advice based on my experience as an adjunct English instructor and a lifelong writer. This week, I’m reading and discussing “Revelation,” a short story first published as “Christbearer” in The Bradford ReView and later collected under its current title in Those Little Bastads.
“Revelation” is a story about what happens when a Jesus Christ is cloned from a blood sample found on the Shroud of Turin. Originally told from the point of view of an angry young atheist, it has since been revised so that it is now seen through the eyes of a devout Christian woman. In this week’s episode of Making the Book, I talk a little about why our choice of point-of-view characters is so important.
If you’ve read Those Little Bastads and would like to suggest which story I discuss next, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
