In my very humble opinion, what will set anyone's work apart is the ability to 'think outside the box'. I am reading a book by the author Kazuo Ishiguro. 'The Giant Builder' won the Nobel Prize for literature. It is a very interesting read so far, but I can't decide for sure what themes he is discussing, or what this is really all about. I hope to find that out by the end of the book. But what I do know is that I am transported back to post-Arthurian Britain. I am totally immersed in a culture and time I knew little about. But that's OK - because the author is giving me information about this place and culture and people. Perhaps it was this way, perhaps it wasn't. I don't care. I care about the story. Because the people - the characters - are what make a good story.
