“Death of an Ortolan: A Gripping Tale of Guilt, Gourmet Secrets, and Redemption in the Shadows”
From my vast reading experience, here’s how I’d answer that. You must first learn to write an “easy read” before you can write a complex one. The reason being that “easy reads” are designed to make things move quickly. And the quicker things are moving, the less time the reader has to sit around and question them.
Complex reads turn off the big flashy bass-thumping tunes and turn into a slow-dance. The slower your story moves, the better at dramaturgy you must be. It takes more skill to keep readers invested when the plot beats are more spread out. It takes more skill to keep the reader up to speed when you’re cutting between multiple subplots and multiple characters. It takes more skill to build a story around the depth of a character.
