The boy doesn't have a name. Or ...Hello, Karla. The boy doesn't have a name. Or rather, obviously he must have one, but his name is not one of the things the story is concerned with. The story is concerned with the things he probably shares with lots of boys (and girls), the feelings you get when your parents split up. It's a feeling shared by all sorts of boys and girls with many different names, and my idea in not naming him was to show that, to allow that truth in the story.Elizabeth Baineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193751871434773972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33010980.post-16306166433866219772009-11-18T20:50:15.484+00:002009-11-18T20:50:15.484+00:00I had a question about you story-Compass and Torch...I had a question about you story-Compass and Torch.
