The best example of show dont tell I ever read: the main character, the boy Asher, falls in a depression, which you can almost feel yourself, without the word being mentioned.

Stef Smulders is on page 60 of 390 of Young Mungo

Am I crazy or what? The novel starts with the section The May after which consists of one chapter in which Munro goes out fishing with the two drunkards. Then starts the section The january before which is about the mother gone missing. After two chapters the story of the fishing trip continues, BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE SECTION The January before!!!

How can such a mistake occur in a novel of an important writer?

Stef Smulders is 50% done with Een goede nachtrust

Mij vallen vooral de vele beginnersfouten op: het voortdurend (en soms echt foutief) verspringen van perspectie, het steeds wisselen tussen onvoltooid en voltooid verleden tijd, zinnen die je alleen in amateurproza tegenkomt. Deze tekst is te snel gepubliceerd en had veel kunnen winnen bij een goede redactie.
