The Art of Mystery was published as part of a series on the craft of writing. I knew from reviews that Casey was uninterested in commercial fiction, but her loose definition of mystery as "the search for questions" rather than a search for answers means that she focuses on character and theme to the almost total exclusion of narrative and structure.
