"the lavish width of night"
I absolutely love that phrase. Talk about avoiding cliches.. That's just awesome. --CH 01/12 |
G d damn it, Nerve! I'm pretty sure I've read this story here before... about two years ago! Why do re-runs when you can get great fiction for so little? Here's a suggestion: take a chance, publish a couple of stories by some spankin'-new writers with no creds. Even if you pay 'em nothing it would be a mutually beneficial exchange of some fresh voices for some resume-boosting clippings from a premier literary mag. --YK 01/10 |
agree, agree. memo to Nerve: pls. beg Mr. Almond to change his ugg-o-rama author photo. Way too distracting of his fiction!
what kind of a title s "cool cat". come ON! --REO 01/08 |
yes..nothing sexier than a dirty foot pointed at your face. this guy has got to have the worst author photos ever. neat story though.
good job. --djp 12/19 |
please. i've read a dime a dozen sucking on the finger stories. nothing new with his description here...except for the raking of the teeth, which yikes, i feel sorry for mr. almond if that happened to him.
is nerve going thru a dry spell or what?/ --mdn 12/19 |
Wow, what an immense waste of space and time. You guys at Nerve have really let your standards sink to abysmal levels. The fact that this "writer" has won awards is good evidence that the literary world has gone completely to the dogs. And not the good dogs, either, but the debased ones they use for testing flea collars and worm pills. --ani 12/19 |
not only did i enjoy this story (and its been a while since ive enjoyed reading anything in here), but boy is steve almond a hottie or what? yum --mo 12/18 |
