Miss Jaffe began the novel
because she was fascinated by
a newspaper account of stu-
dents at Michigan State who
acted out the medieval board
game of "Dungeons and
Dragons'' In tunnels under the
university
"People taking an imagi-
nary idea and doing it in a
real environment, with
coxtvmes" she says she
thought at the time "but
why* College students have so
many options in school today
instead of hiding in a fantasy
world "
She spent sn months
researching the topic learn
ing the game trying to find
out why And the answer she
says is simply one of escape
We are in a time of fanta
sy right now,'* she says
‘ Because of the not-so-pretty
rea/ world people are Hying
to escape into a fantasy world
which of course is much
more frightening than the real
world
In the game of Mazes and
Monsters that she created for
her oovel in which players
undergo adventures as they
try to stay alive it is particu
larlv ea»\ for the players to
become consumed by the
game betause th . r actually
