After after a few selections from the Wreckage of Reason I came to a few conclusions. I felt like it was a mixture of poetry and fiction. It was very poetic yet some were lengthy with plots. I really liked the Word. Throughtout that piece there were a lot of hints to what the writer was walking about and I like how certain words were italized giving the word a stronger meaning.
Even though a lot of them didn't give me a short story vibe like in my fiction 101 Lit class one particular story stood out to me. More than winter or spring had great dialoque and from the beginging i could get a great feel for the characters through their conversations. Even thought i thought the langauage was extreme and harsh with the bold "FUCK YOU GOD!" statements I got a feeling from where the tension was clear.
I liked Numbers as well. It was a quick great read that caaught my attention the moment I started to read it. And after the readings the words at the bottom gave it even more explanation, but I would is that pushing show vs. tell dealing with the detail in the story? But I got a good sense of both there was a lot of listing and with those lists i could visualize what was happening. It was a good read.
Ok, good, maybe say a bit more and use specifics from the stories.
