I love story. It's the only thing that makes me feel like I can feel what's going on underneath someone else's skin and the only way I feel like I can communicate what's going on underneath mine.

In this series, I look at master works for enjoyment and study. My first question is always: What is this story about? Then, I look at what the story does well and how I can learn from it as a writer, and then I ask a few questions that went unanswered for me.
