Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I bought Breaking It Down and I am intrigued and delighted with this author's compositions. I found a link to the first 3 short stories. I am especially interested to see what the Outpost conoscenti think about this:
Lydia Davis Experimental Fiction
I think The Fears of Mrs Orlando is my favorite of the 3. All 3 are only 16 pages.

WTF?
Bonk's tales are a better read than that.
I can't imagine anyone paying money.

Are you part of the conoscenti, or "people with informed appreciation of a particular field, esp in the fine arts; connoisseurs?" If not, I can accept disagreement. However, you should frame your disagreement in something called an argument (i.e. a claim, I dislike this story because of this reason).
What you have given is something much less.

I can tell why you like them. I don't think I'd go out of my way to read them, but I think they are honest. At least to the way the author thinks. They seem sincere to me.

I I I I I I I I...
Huge run-on sentences combined into run-on paragraphs.
The fact that he does not tell me the truth all the time makes me not sure of his truth at certain times, and then I work to figure out for myself if what he is telling me is the truth or not, and sometimes I can figure out that it’s not the truth and sometimes I don’t know and never know, and sometimes just because he says it to me over and over again I am convinced it is the truth because I don’t believe he would repeat a lie so often.
The ramblings of insanity. Edit: Or maybe a 2nd grader.
