Status Updates From A Swim in a Pond in the Rai...

this book is making me feel how I felt when my very passionate Irish literature prof explained james joyce’s “the dead” to my class. by which I mean delighted and passionate and in love with the written word and all the intricacies of really good writing. I am taking NOTES for FUN

I know this is a nobody criticizing a professor and author (as well as classic Russian literature) but I really don't agree with his statements about the first two stories. He asserts that the purpose of a scene is to make you think that exactly the opposite of what I thought was happening was happening (wow great writing cache. I appreciate your amazing literary criticism🙄)
