"It's here where I suggest people read books like Woolf's To The Lighthouse to see what she does by moving from mind to mind. Or Tolstoy's War and Peace for goodness' sake. Wow. The way he slides from one point of view to another without you knowing that you've changed point of view – he does it so gracefully. You know where you are, whose eyes you are seeing through, but you don't have the sense of being jerked from place to place. That's mastery of a craft."
