Holly Willis has written a nice, perceptive piece on GAM3R 7H30RY for the LA Weekly arts and books section. It includes some interesting reflections on the process from both Bob and McKenzie. Here’s a good quote from Ken:
“For a lot of writers, any editorial change is like chopping fingers off your child. But to write this way, you really can’t be precious.” The elements that make the process worthwhile, he adds, are the interaction with his readers now instead of following publication, as well as the sensitivity of his readers. “There’s such an attitude of good will. Readers recognize that the book in this form is a gift, and they respond with that in mind.”
