No book includes the entire world. It's limited. And so it doesn't seem like an aesthetic compromise to have to do that. There's so much other material to write about.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Out of respect to writers, you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Books are a finer world within the world.
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
When you publish a book, it's the world's book. The world edits it.
Literature delivers tidings of the world within and the world without.
I think a book is often an account, or a series of accounts, that create a world that is sort of half of the world. There are references to a world, and then the reader supplies the other fifty percent.
If I loved all the world as I do you, I shouldn't write books to it: I should only write letters to it, and that would be only a clumsy stage on the way to entire telepathy.
Everything in the world exists to end up in a book.
When you write a novel, you never have to be in the service of the reader. My only concern with my books is that the world that's created be as logical and whole as possible.
