Books two through four were heavily plotted out before work was started, and keeping the past-and-present continuity tight over the three or four years I was working on these books isn’t something I particularly ever want to do again! Which of your characters have you had the hardest time leaving behind once the novel was complete? Which character was the easiest to pick back up? The backstory, or in this case the five-year gap between books one and two, is a huge part of the plot of The Stone Giant, and I had a lot of fun dropping the various reveals into the story. I wanted the fates of the surviving characters from The Stone Man to form part of the mystery of The Empty Men for the reader…but I also knew I wanted to bring the survivors back for The Stone Giant once the new stakes were well established and answers were required (that, and I’m a sucker for a team-up). How do you get readers caught up on what happened in books one and two? How do you gauge when to introduce new antagonists and when to return to past ones? Your latest novel, The Stone Giant, is book three of your Stone Man series. This month, NLA interviewed Kristin Nelson’s client Luke Smitherd, author of the recently released novel The Stone Giant.

Joyce kept the title of the work a closely guarded secret for many years whilst issuing sections of the work for publication entitled «Work in Progress.» The title came from the popular Irish ballad about a hod carrier called Finnegan who falls to a supposed death from a building but is revived by a skite of whisky which is thrown in the drunken melee that ensues at his wake. He found, due to the perceived obscurity of the text that even his closest allies lost faith in his last artistic venture, finding it too obscure and occluded to penetrate. Like all of Joyce’s works Finnegans Wake was dogged by publication controversy. Joyce celebrated its eventual publication on February 2nd 1939. «Finnegans Wake,» Joyce’s final work was created over a period of fifteen years with composition starting in 1923. |
