“Hyperrealism can create an atmosphere of surrealism because nobody sees the world in such detail.” –Salman Rushdie
While I cleaned the kitchen today, I played a video of Rushdie speaking to a group of Google employees about his work. I appreciate Rushdie because he writes Magical Realism, and he likes the idea of leaving characters open to interpretation. I like to leave things up to my reader. I also like to play with different ideas of morality, but I think that’s one of the biggest reasons I’m drawn to storytelling. We all think we know, but we really don’t. I feel like writing stories is the closest I’ll ever come to walking in other people’s shoes.
