T. Coraghessan Boyle discusses “Princess,” his story from the new issue of the magazine: “The magic of fiction is that it allows us to project ourselves into the point of view of characters whose perceptions and belief systems are different from our own.”
” reimagines the fairy tale “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” as a contemporary home invasion. How did that idea come to you?
You tell the story through two voices: the voice of Tanya, a homeless young woman on meth who makes herself at home in someone else’s house; and the voice of Dawn, a single mother of two teen-agers, who owns the house. Why did you choose that alternating structure? “Princess” involves two crimes: Tanya’s trespassing and the murder of a little girl, whose body is dumped in the park. How do you see these two things—at opposite ends of the spectrum of criminal depravity—playing against each other?
Tanya is twenty-two, with a drug habit, sleeping wherever she can, unable to find enough money to fly home to the East Coast. What do you think draws her back to Dawn’s house a second time?
