The concept of wild otherness from the Southern Reach trilogy has begun to influence my already nature-focused novel-in-progress. Is this okay/flattering or is it annoying?
Jeff VanderMeer
Flattering, really. I owe a lot to Rachel Carson, Leena Krohn, Patiann Rogers, Michel Bernanos, and others who have tackle similar themes. Besides, I think whenever someone tackles something to do with nature they bring their own personal connection to a particular place with them.

One of the most difficult things, in my opinion, while writing a story is to give every character a distinctive voice. Often times all the characters sound almost the same. I thought that in "Shriek: An Afterword" (a wonderful book that I cherish) you create a fantastic setting to differenciate Janice and Ducan. In any given story, how do you make sure each character has a trademark voice?
