Lately I’ve read a lot of reviews saying that a book is “telling instead of showing.” What’s your opinion about this?
Personally, I like when the story tells me what the character is feeling. When it doesn’t, I sometimes get a little lost, especially when it comes to emotions or intentions. I think “showing” makes us interpret a lot, and sometimes the character is so different from me that it’s not possible to interpret them correctly. I like being inside the character’s mind rather than having to interpret their behavior.
I understand why a lot of people value “showing,” since it can make a story feel immersive and dynamic. But I don’t think “telling” is inherently a flaw. In fact, it can create a deeper sense of intimacy and clarity. When a narrative explicitly names emotions or motivations, it reduces ambiguity and allows the reader to connect more directly with the character’s internal world. For me is easier connect in this way
