Why I write and why I write fantasy
I love how this essay emphasizes the many ways reading fantasy helps us recover our wonder of the natural world.
Thanks, Ben! Tolkien's essay "On Fairy-Stories" influenced so much of my thinking about the power and purpose of fantasy literature, and the recovery of wonder is one of the biggies in that regard. Glad you enjoyed my piece!
