One of the first books I read in English (my mother tongue being Swedish) was Little Women by Lousia May Alcott and I loved it. So you can imagine my feeling when I picked up Geraldine Brooks book March from the library. March tells the story of the Little Women’s father. In Alcott’s book you only know that their father is away at the American Civil War, but you never find out what happened to him there, this is the story Brooks tells us.
Fan fiction is a genre that interests me because you can do so much with the minor characters in a book that the writer never develops. Who isn’t curious to know what happened to Friday before he met Robinson Crusoe or how Frau Remarque dealt with her son being sent to war. There may be people disagreeing with me, but in my opinion, the writer of fan fiction ventures into those unknown paths that the writer merely didn’t have time to cover in their book.
