Is Everything Sad Will Become Untrue?
The title is a reference to this moment in the Lord of the Rings where Samwise Gamgee and Gandalf are at their lowest point. It was so naive and beautiful and hopeful as if everything had become untrue, he sort of asks for all of it. I wanted the reader to immediately have that questioning. And my narrator is a little bit more presumptuous than Samwise. For him, his mental state would be that if it will be then it already is.
