Of fish and swimming swords
Abstract
This original novel with a critical introduction is a summary and capstone of my study
of creative writing at Texas A&M University. The introduction uses storytelling traditions
in genre science fiction as well as non-genre writing as it explores the novel’s narrative
structure, the world building process, and character development. The novel demonstrates
the postmodern and genre techniques while masquerading as a traditional short novel, encouraging
the reader to discover possible conspiracies in order to complete the narrative.
