Lord Jim by LinDze (4.00 / 1) #1 Tue Oct 09, 2007 at 06:28:37 PM EST

The thing about writing teacher folks is that usually theyre not actually authors.

"Show don't tell" is a very good rule by johnny (4.00 / 1) #5 Wed Oct 10, 2007 at 02:53:52 PM EST

It should only be disregarded by masters. Conrad was a master.

I'm not a writing teacher, but I would be happy to play one on television.

Pens... by Metatone (4.00 / 1) #2 Tue Oct 09, 2007 at 08:35:05 PM EST

Kind of disappointing article that one. Just like B&W photography, continuing with an old system in a digital age requires some adaptation. The smart pen user now goes with bottles of ink if economy is the issue...

Roth by sasquatchan (4.00 / 1) #3 Wed Oct 10, 2007 at 09:46:11 AM EST

has his writing gotten any better ? A friend we exchange books with regularly lent me the Lindburgh alternative-future book, and I couldn't get 40 pages into it.

I've read bad books, I've gotten through tortured writing. I could not read Roth. WORST. PROSE. EVAR.

: This was an earlier book by TheophileEscargot (2.00 / 0) #4 Wed Oct 10, 2007 at 02:17:05 PM EST

But I thought the quality of the prose was very good in both books.

Thanks a lot, Theophile. I'll have that tune in my head for the next two weeks.
