“Puyana . . . squeezes adventure, even dark comedy, from misery and horror . . . It’s a Latin American tradition, a coping mechanism turned vocation for authors from Roberto Bolaño to Mariana Enríquez.” -- @nytimesbooks nytimes.com/2024/08/20/books…

I love talking about character in craft. @poetswritersinc gave me some room to talk about what I learned from @elizmccracken and Bret Anthony Johnston and the rest of the faculty over at the @MichenerCenter.
"Whenever I felt stuck with a character, I leaned on three things to shake free: motivation, physicality, and complexity." In today's #CraftCapsule Alejandro Puyana (@Puyana) explores tactics for creating three-dimensional characters. at.pw.org/3Dcharacters
