As for crime fiction, Corey, nothing wrong with that. Loving classic (Poe, Bierce) shorts is terrific but loving new ones, well, that's terrific too. And the classic O'Connor? "A Good Man is Hard to Find" IS basically crime fiction.Gay Deganihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609404497703663916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-64678897728138170882009-04-06T12:19:00.000-07:002009-04-06T12:19:00.000-07:00That is an interesting article, I have to agree.

I picked up some magazines last week and after reading through them I found myself bemoaning the fact that they consisted solely of ads and articles that had already been written hundreds of times in magazines (Is Your 401k Working For You?). I was surprised that there was no short story in the Saturday Evening Post because when I was young I remember there were stories, good ones. <BR/><BR/>At the same time I'm guilty of pretty much restricting my short story reading to crime fic. Sometimes not, a couple that I read this week on Southern Cross Review zine were not crime fic. But they were hardly all that is fine literature either. Maybe I need to pick up some O'Connor, et al, and see what I'm missing.Corey Wildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05566740230330395590noreply@blogger.com
