diary / by Edward Mullany

Though it is true, of course, that even a ‘regionless’ region (to the extent that one can exist as I have described it), cannot help but have an influence on a story that finds its setting there; for all events that can be conceived of, whether they involve an intelligence or not, are but reactions of one organism or circumstance to another. So that if an audience is to follow a protagonist or ‘hero’ or what have you, through any imagined landscape, that audience will be witness to actions that, when measured against the character’s mood, or interior weather, will not only reveal the judgments of that character, as they relate to his or her setting, but will also invite the audience to make judgments about the same.
