Nice analysis! It’s such an incredible story. I always learn from it, and you’ve done a lovely job of taking us through it so we can learn some more!

Comment on To E-Book or not to E-Book, is that the, er, E-Question? by matthew greco

I think this is a question not only for MFAers but for all students and scholars and those who like to mark their books up, as well as those who like to smudge their pages with caramel ice cream.

I tried to go over to ebooks and I just can’t get there yet, myself. I like online magazines, but for longer books or whole collections of poetry I want the “old paper and glue books” too. It would be neat to make wall art out of book covers though…

Bernadette Murphy is right about WINGSHOOTERS, but the author’s name is Nina Revoyr with an “r,” not “Revoy.”

Well put! The convenience vs. the security of a held object, caressed, known. I prefer the old paper and glue books, but I have too many, crowding me, and sometimes long for a clear table or desk, or floor. Sigh. Maybe an ebook with voice notes on your cell? You could always print the cover images and keep them visible, on the desk and floor, for atmosphere . . .

Comment on Thoughts on the Use of Historical Figures in Short Fiction by matthew greco

Nice piece, Nick. I added twitter to my computer today. I’m sure I will live to regret it. My glog (like a blog but more gooey) consists of book reviews I and others have written. Feel free to contribute.

I lie your idea of the small pieces of history: What if Hitler wasn’t raised by Jesuits? What if Henry Ford was not Hitler’s favorite American. And I like historical fiction that plays with altnerative outcomes, Like Philp K. Dick’s Man in the HIgh Tower, where Germany and Japan have split the US between them.

Good advice! My writing pants are my husband’s boxer briefs – do those count?
