#46: Agatha Cristie’s “Disappearance”
Wow, Agatha Christie. What a genius! I swear she did this just to mess with her fans and to continue messing with them even a century later. How brilliant to become so established in your literary career that you can create the very genre you excel at in real life.
I’m sure she just wanted to teach everyone a lesson about the ingredients of a good mystery story, what elements it needs, what provides its dramatic tension, and how to properly harness our imagination. It’s almost as if she wanted to inspire others to write a fan-fiction about herself.
