I hear you. There’s a time and a place for 3 level deep complexity and 4th wall breaking stuff but the majority of the things are best enjoyed without reading anything into it.
- watwut 8y agoThat is not what article is about. It is about novel describing point of view of characters that are not you and showing you the world ad they see it. Article uses example of janissaries who were military, but from point of view of their families boys kidnapped as kids and never seen again. There is nothing complex about it. Another similar example is pretty much when the same act is framed in one novel as cool prank and in other you see it from point of view of victims and cool dude suddenly looks like massive asshole.
