As of now I am really interested in further researching geography in these stories. I see this as sort of a two-fold topic: geographical setting as agency moving the plot, theme, etc. in a particular direction. Secondly, there is somewhat of a binary opposition positied by both authors concerning place. As we've talked about in class, this is usually structured in terms of the city v. the country, but I think it can also be put as home/the familiar v. foreign land/the Other.
If we're speaking of binaries, which might each author be favoring and why? What might the center of such a structure be? I intend to delve into this and to basically research how geographic place is used by each author and the effects of such settings on the stories overall.
