Clarity with Intrigue


Balancing Clarity with Intrigue

An author’s balancing act-deciding how much to spell out and how much to leave up to the reader to infer.

Pittsford (NY)-In a recent interview with author Susan Baruch of “Paternity” a fiction novel, she expressed that the most difficult part of being an author is the balance between clarity and intrigue. She obviously found the line for “Paternity” offers the reader both-and much more.

The main message in her novel Paternity about a man who wants to, and does, produce offspring before he dies is that readers will come away with the understanding that people, whether Jewish or Christian, black, white, bi-racial or Asian, gay or straight, vegetarian or omnivorous, are more the same than different; and that all are worthy of love.

Paternity will appeal to sensitive males and anyone who enjoys a good page-turner about family relationships, who adopted an open mind. Parents of all stripes, Jewish readers, interfaith couples, people with strong ethnic family ties, liberal-minded Catholics and African-Americans, same sex readers and vegetarians will especially identify with this story.

When asked; “Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?” Mrs. Baruch said; “I know you will love this story as much as I do and share it with your friends. I look forward to hearing your feedback.”

CEO- Tilly Rivers of Rain Publishing Inc. states “It is Rain Publishing’s mission to deliver compelling titles that resonate with readers of all ages-Susan’s Paternity is not only an enjoyable read that you will ‘not’ want to take the chance of loaning to the neighbor- but will proudly introduce to so many!”

Baruch, originally from Cleveland Ohio appears in a documentary entitled “The Muslims I Know” – by Mara Ahmed- pending acceptance into Rochester’s High Falls Film Fest.
