Despite its negative connotations, obsession is a powerful driving force for narrative action. It’s the fire that pushes Captain Achab to keep tracking the whale in Moby Dick, and the fuel of many love stories portrayed by novelists. But it also is the key to the determination that drives many writers to take on the uncertain, difficult and quite unreasonable work of literary fiction.
