The red pen
| September 2, 2009 | Filled under Shorts |
Read two short stories yesterday for my creative writing class. The first, “A & P” by John Updike*, was awesome and most excellent. I highly suggest you click that link and read it.
The second was “Stitches” by Antonya Nelson, who happens to teach creative writing at U of H. Here is some of my marginalia from that story:
- I hate this writing
- Electra. Or just weird
- Oedipal
- honesty?
- weird
- uhg.
- is that all it was?
- disgusting
- gross
- wtf is this?
- WTF?!
*The whole time I’m thinking, “This is the guy who wrote ‘The Jungle’?”
