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.

Kappa comment...

While contemplating the deliciousness that is "Air"(see previous post)
I realized that my primary preference in story theme(s) seems to be
for those wherein an OC reacts with some degree of equanimity to the
appearance of non-human characters. I am thinking that, surely, among
the seven billion of us...there would be a few who could experience the
"Other" with something more intelligent than a horrified scream!!?
