Kappa Tracks

"A story is made up of words and characters. Are the words well chosen and do the characters live? All the rest is literary gossip."

My six decade love affair with the English language compels me to offer a list of authors whose work meets my critical standards. The single criterion operant is the quality of the prose as composed by the writers. I have made no discrimination whatsoever as to subject matter, theme, or plot.

Therefore be warned!

A great many of the works here listed may involve themes or subjects repugnant to some readers. I can only advise that if a particular story cannot be stomached, go on to the next; you will find at least a few to be to your taste.

In the hope(4letterword)that no one
ever notices, I am placing the following
in this earliest entry. These aren't real--
they're a sort of woulda, coulda, shoulda...
However, I believe that, were they real, they'd be prime
candidates for addition to GW's 'hard core' list...
1.Submitted and had accepted(albeit with jocular comments)
a Bibliography of publications by Mirage in partial
satisfaction of the requirements for the
Masters degree in Library Science.
2.Composed, created and inserted a page into the binder of
the IUCN&NR's*"Red Book"-- one that described the endangered status
of a reptilian species, namely: Pseudemys scripta elegans,
(var:mutans) ascribing description of type specimen to the
field work of Eastman, K. & Laird, P.; q.v., 1984.
