I know you’ll love it.

Because it’s not just that the actual content of the book was boring or bad, but the writing itself was absolutely awful — like beginning creative writing awful.

It sucks that crap like that can get published and some really geniuinely good stuff sits on some harddrive somewhere with no audience to read it.

The surprising thing is that many critics (music critics mostly) can’t fawn enough over the thing.

Whatever the dude did (too lazy to look up his name), he did something right. After all, that was the collection that rocketed Carver to fame. I think that’s why I am so curious about seeing the unedited collection to see how much the editor really change/influenced the final stories I have read and loved.

So yes, the way I see it, creamcitian, you should thank me a lot. baby, I’ll make you a star.
