One of my favorite writers is David Carkeet, who wrote, among other novels, the wonderful mystery Double Negative. I also love The Full Catastrophe. He's getting up in years, and I haven't seen a new novel from him in a long time. I was thinking about him the other day, and I was thinking whether someone who liked his novels would be inclined to like my fiction. Hard to say. One thing I feel is likely: someone who doesn't like Carkeet's fiction would not likely like mine. Strictly speaking, that's not a double negative, but I think it's fun.
Want to play? If someone doesn't like X's fiction they probably won't like mine. Who is your X?
