In this new episode of Beneath the Surface, I continue the conversation about how The Ivory Pinion is written. This episode explores the symbolic objects that carry meaning through the novel, the asymmetry of narrative voice, and the Japanese aesthetic concept of yūgen (mysterious depth) — as the governing principle of the book’s style.
Production note: This episode uses AI-assisted background music and AI-based voice enhancement. The script, narration, and editorial direction are my own.
