Back at school, we got those two new male teachers: one was big and athletic and Ivy-League and zipped around on a Vespa and the other was skinny, from Tennessee and spoke like that. One time a new kid came down from the States and he seemed really cool and all us guys started copying the way he sort of held his mouth and pursed his lips, which we thought made him look tough.

Jenny commented on tom burke edwards's blog post Full-grown Women"TB- This is an interesting series and I think you write in a style which reminds me of someone sitting on the front porch spinning a tale of yesteryear.

The old teacher didn’t like it, but there wasn’t much she could say.See More

Getting to know the man behind the novel was fascinating. Then I trudged through Benito Cereno and found myself cursing Melville under my breath."
Stuart Mckellar commented on tom burke edwards's blog post MOBY DICK"I get this. My favourite was John Steinbeck's The Red Pony. I found it at a school jumble sale when I was a kid and must have read it hundreds of times.
Funnily enough, I am reading Moby Dick right now. I gave up after a few pages the first…"
