Some words

So I was reading this interview, with a man who I greatly respect, and he mentioned a name that I hadn’t heard; Jack Trevor Story.

He gave him great props as a writer. I’m currently reading one of his novels… he’s insane! Utterly amazing. He writes dialogue in narrative form, so it comes out like this:

“‘Old Uncle Andrew was crazy’ Bertha used to say,” Rhonda used to say.

The way he plays with language is intense. Not James Joyce intense, but lightly and beautifully friendly intense.
