The best writing can say more about the author than they ever intend, because the best writers put so much of themselves into their stories. Most often it’s intentional, with the author’s interests, passions, hopes and fears reflected in their plots, settings and characters. Sometimes, however, a writer only discovers common themes and ideas in their stories after the fact.
