I really like Stephen Donaldson’s writing, what I don’t understand is why. Here is an exceptional writer who makes what he writes come alive in my head. More than many other writers, when Donaldson describes something, I come away feeling like I’ve actually seen it. But why?

What I’m trying to think about is not the power of his approach, but what it is that gives it that power. If someone else described the scene, it wouldn’t be as powerful. Why?
