Frank Said

I recall commenting to pseudo-sister Claudia many (more than thirty) years ago that one of the things I liked about Frank Herbert’s Dune novels was how there was such a strong sense of more story both before and after what he wrote about, that the setting was richly detailed instead of an “instant planet, just add water” (pun NOT intended, and only after I’d said it did I realize…) kind of place. As much as it frustrates me sometimes not to know literally everything about a fictional place or person, I’d be very disappointed if it were possible for the author to write literally everything about ’em, because that would mean there’s not all that much to tell.
