When fiction and news collide. . .


What do you do when the novel you’ve been writing for years is suddenly rendered irrelevant by current events? As Michael David Lukas says, writing in the Times, do you accept the new reality, which might even mean scrapping the work you’ve done, or do you ignore what’s changed and continuing writing a novel that's now set in the past?

 There’s no one “correct” answer, of course.
