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.

this thing...

..is getting out of hand...
concocted a couple new acronyms..
1. RRR--really readible 'riting
2.WWW-well wrought writing
3.NAW-not a writer
******
nr.3 may appear when Kappa
likes the 'story' but finds
awkwardnesses(messes)
in the prose construction.

10-07:
have said to the GW that if i ever get
over being intimidated by the
sheer talent to be found
on the FF, i may yet post some of
my own writing...but i don't think so.
however--one can't help but
imagine things--one theme
keeps reoccuring...
in a city the size of NY, surely
there would be some few able
to react to the 'other' with some degree
of equinamity.... scream, run, faint--
such a cliche!!! so that...
"...you turn to look--it is looking back
at you--it is alive, aware and thinking--
and it is not an animal, but it is not
human...it is the 'other'..."
