Reading Journal 09/20/05

This week's stories are a spotlight on James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. As might be expected, I love the former and loathe the latter, so...

Style and story and something-else-starting-with-s, oh my!

Reading Journal, 08/30/05

So I'm taking this class on short stories. It's really interesting--I haven't ever studied the form as a form, just as part of the Big Class o' Stuff Known As Literature.

The teacher's asked us to keep a reading journal, and I thought I'd do it here, to educate the large number of people who .... are not reading this journal at all, really. But it's handy and I can write in it anywhere with the Net, so.

Onward and upward! Chekhov, Oates, Cather, Gilchrist.
