"Many writers struggle with exposition in their novels. Often they heap it on in large chunks of straight narrative. Back story â€“ what happens before the novel opens â€“ is especially troublesome. How can we give the essentials and avoid a mere information drop? Use dialogue. First, create a tension-filled scene, usually between two characters. Get them arguing, confronting each other. Then you can have the information appear in the natural course of things."

-- James Scott Bell
