....the novel of manners is a handsy, social form, which meant one thing when I wrote it and another in April 2020, when it now suggests a Covid-19 incubator. Not many projects age quite like that while they’re at the printer. But writing fiction is always an exercise in letting go of one’s relevancy. Publishing a pool scene in a plague year is one way to achieve this. Writing a gay novel is another.
