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.

Eureka!

i've got to keep on with insertion of small synopsis...
was just thinking abt. a story i'd read a while back
& (of course) couldn't remember either title or author..
but it seemed that i'd put it on this blog dealie
with a bit of desc.---
so came here and.....and FOUND it!!!
note to self: leave review appreciating
author's use of 'churr' factor...
don't think anyone has mentioned THAT
since the doyenne sss979...
*************************
another Eureka--(10-07)
lurking around the 'Lost & Found'
on the SS place--someone wanted to
find the (Raph-scissors-suicide) story
so i went looking here for it, but my 'synops'
are not as comprehensive as i could wish--
& it was only with my most recent pass
thru the FF that i ran across that
particular tale--left a link in the
query note--since there's no indication
that the searcher found the story.
