Robin Slick: In Her Own Write


Thursday, December 30, 2004



This is an amazing book. If you love short stories, this is a collection so brilliant it will take your breath away. If you don't love short stories...well, I suggest you get over it and sit the hell down and at least pretend to be intelligent and have a read because just maybe you'll understand what I'm talking about. Rarely does something come along so special.

Anyway, you can order it on Amazon.com right here

Oh, I'm so glad! Having read through this book twice for sheer pleasure, I'm now reading it again as a student...it should be required reading for anyone studying the art of short story writing.

Just think. This time next year, assuming I don't hurl myself out any windows, I'll be plugging your book, Ellen.

About Me

My Photo
Name: RobinSlick
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Writer, raging liberal, and mother of Eric Slick, drummer for Dr. Dog and Adrian Belew Power Trio, and Julie Slick, bassist for Adrian Belew Power Trio; both Julie and Eric also play in Paper Cat with Robbie Seahag Mangano on guitar as well as too many other projects/bands to mention. "I work on the principle that it's not possible to take anyone's views on music seriously if they don't like the Beatles. Everything else is a question of personal taste and therefore debatable. But if you don't recognise the Beatles as the twentieth century's most inventive, most influential and most talented composers, you're pretty much admitting that you've rather missed the point of the last hundred years of musical endeavour. Should you fall into that category, I do not condemn neither do I mock. I merely despair and, having despaired, I move on." ...Mark Bastable www.myspace.com/markbastable
