The author of 'Severance' is back, with stories about women inhabiting various states of joy and devastation in a just off-center universe.
I guess it was like four years, but it was mostly written in the summers across four years. But a lot of those stories fromcame from sketches I'd had. I was trying to write stories that I couldn't really finish. I had all these loose scenes and sketches, so I went back to them during the pandemic. I think because years had passed, I was able to finish them because I had the distance and the perspective to be able to do it in a way that I couldn't the first time around.
I just felt like I was close on many of them and I kept thinking about them and I would have these dreams trying to work out the stories. I felt like my brain is still on this or my subconscious is still crunching this, trying to metabolize this. But a lot of it is just that I feel like the whole writing process is about blind faith. Embarking on a novel, that's totally blind faith, because you don't know what is ever going to work out.
I felt I was approaching it from a very jokey manner, but then suddenly it turned serious and there was something very charged here. I remember watching De Palma films from the 80s and really being immersed in that sort of mood and feeling that something bad is going to happen. I took a bit from all of those inspiration sources and they made the story. I wrote it fairly quickly for me. I didn't do a lot of drafts. I really liked writing that story.
In a way I do feel like the weird and odd premises are ways of working out some sort of emotional knot, are ways of untangling some sort of emotional conflict.
