How we came to love the multi-volume novel
"What was The Goldfinch of last year?"
A friend and editor of mine asked me this over email as he prepared an overview of the year's publishing trends. I tried to think of if there was one.
I wrote first, "I think maybe there was a bit of a Goldfinch hangover from those who didn't love it, and those who did, really didn't want another one, they just didn't want it to end."
As soon as I typed that, I knew there was more to it.
