Jay has some great things to say about why he thinks people gravitate towards this type of writing, and he says them all with a great amount of intelligence and pragmatism. I loved this interview, Lenore.

A lack of technology/ 21st century comforts, poor medical care/ unsanitary city conditions, world wars, and what many see as outdated or "wrong" ideals are pretty unappealing, especially to the younger generation at which many dystopian novels are aimed at nowadays (even though we still have those things in our world today.)<br /><br />I love that you're breaking the mold though; the book sounds fantastic and I can't wait!Emily @ Brave New Shelfhttp://bravenewshelf.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-987167496142681464.post-1479426045324040202011-08-03T00:39:35.622+02:002011-08-03T00:39:35.622+02:00I had the same reaction when I read the summary of...I had the same reaction when I read the summary of Kristoff's upcoming book - I'M IN.
