Kip! Nicely done. You've been busy here, in spite of your protests to the contrary. I loved it all but especially this: "and don't even ask why I felt compelled to couch this request in six sentences--maybe it's because I just have the sort of bra...

Kip . . . I've been gettin' into the Cormac state of mindset too . . . The Road and All the Pretty Horses, but damn . . . I think he'd like you thinkin' on how he thinks that he is thinkin' when he does that certain slide of grey that turn into hi...

Powell's books has it for not too much money. Kip, this was a good six. I don't like to read about evil, though, in longer pieces. I have a thing about happy endings and fluffy bunnies and shit like that.

Required reading in American literature, Trevor. Sorry to add to your list, but then, we all have such lists, and they're all inexhaustible ... the perpetual race--whoever reads the most books before he dies wins.

Ok..that's quorum. Enough people around me going on about this guy, it's time to put him on the must read list.

Yes, the cynical line was a good one. But it's the tone that you manage to evoke in so brief a space that is impressive ... reminiscent of Einstein's Dreams, or of Calvino. Thanks for the comment on mine .... McCarthy is one of my big time favorit...

Nice ... very suggestive. I wanted to read more, learn more about Gina, whether she had indeed been found by that gate, whether that cop was the one who'd found her, what toppings were on the pizza. Inspired by the picture? Good job, bro.

Cormac McCarthy is my favorite author. I finished The Road quite some time ago and I still can't get it out of my head. He is getting up there in age now, I hope he still has a few books left in him. Have you ever seen the interview that Oprah d...

Agree about the greater than/less than marks, like the waiter handling of the panhandler bit too. Very cool stuff!

"Always open to chance" . . . opens up so much . . . and when the chips are down who knows how the collide goes ... nice one, Mr Kip. ~ Absolutely*Kate

things we think about or write about or just flat out do

Im thinkin that somewhere in time Cormac McCarthy musta got exposed to a slaughterhouse and saw one of them pneumatic cattle killin gizmos in action and thats how he got the idea you could use one of them things to put down a person just as slick and clean. Im thinkin youd have had to seen such a thing with your own eyes to get an idea like that--hell Id have probably thought the same thing and the fact that he could even think such a thing means hes a helluva lot more like the folks in his book… Continue

The Spoken and the Unspoken

"Let's just give each other a chance," she said to the man she'd considered dumping only the previous evening.

The man tipped his head to one side and smiled like someone who knew something she didn't.

A panhandler moving like sludge along the sidewalk paused near their table, but the tall, dapper waiter stepped forward, puffed up like a cock with hands behind his back, to glower him on his way.

The sun shone so brightly they both had to squint, which opened up the Greater Than and Less Than… Continue

Strangerous Liaisons

"Where's the love, baby?" Manny wheedled into the phone, with as little effort as you might expect from a master wheedler, whether into a phone, a conveniently placed ear, or even on paper or electronic media (his gift for wheedling via email was legend among denizens of online social networking sites the world over).

“The love, you silly silly boy,” Marta purred in a tone specially cultivated for the disarming and conclusive neutralizing of wheedlers, “ has come into my ear, knocked against my… Continue

help please

Okay, so I'm not really a clueless newbie when it comes to this sort of thing, and shouldn't need much guidance, but my mind has just been frazzled lately by work and the tyrannical novel that rarely lets me out of its sight so that the thought of having to figure out how to deliver 6-sentence gusts of creative exhaust to this site is just a bit overwhelming. Can someone, anyone, give me some pointers as to how this is done, and any other pertinent (or impertinent) advice on other things someone… Continue
