“Saunders has never gone in for unleavened rage.... Vigil is, characteristically, a fantasy not of justice or retribution but of the mere possibility of second thoughts.” —Gabriel Winslow-Yost https://t.co/dIfydbkD5j
@ItsReallyReagan@JewishWorkout You’re welcome. You shouldn’t have to put up with that just because a social media presence is an occupational hazard of your job. 💙
@JewishWorkout@ItsReallyReagan So… you were too insecure to say hello in person and waited until you were safely behind your keyboard to write something rude, fuelled by your own sense of inadequacy and regret? Got it 😆
@ItsReallyReagan Might be a good idea to reserve your new handle on other platforms too just in case people start impersonating you there. Scammers suck.
While patiently waiting for your next novel @PhilipPullman I have been reading about British folk and fairy lore including Robert Kirk’s work. Any other recommendations?
@JAGarrick I recommend ‘A Swim in a Pond in the Rain’ by George Saunders in which he breaks down the art of short fiction through close reading of short stories by Chekhov, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Gogol. Not so much about the mechanics of writing but about capturing ideas.
