What Do the Hosts Admit Belinda Blinked Has, Despite the Writing?
at 2:19
Answer
At the start of the Peter Rouse chapter, Jamie Morton says he has the annoying urge to know what happens next. James Cooper and Alice Levine agree that calling Belinda Blinked a story feels wrong, because Rocky Flintstone wrote it as erotica, but they are invested in the people anyway. They care a little about Belinda, and somewhat about Giselle, while refusing to pretend the book has a plot. They picture Rocky writing in a heatwave with no outline, putting down whatever is in his head. The element they name is attachment to the characters. It is not structure, suspense, or a good sentence.
