Keywords:
* Espionage - types and the current situation
* Vienna spies
* Female spies
* Spy stories
* The nature of espionage; questions for fiction
Considerations for your work:
* Do the characters in your fiction function within their own versions of realities, or do they disguise and dissemble according to context? For what purpose?
* Who is spying on whom in your fiction? Even if you’re not writing a spy thriller, is somebody trying to gain information in some way? How can you amplify this concept through aspects of spy literature?
* Which national or cultural identities are at play in your fiction? When do they conflict or change allegiance? What is it that brings them together or separates them? Consider the histories and power dynamics as well as personal interests that can interfere.
