Flattened Like A Fly Squeezed Like A Blister Boyle
897 wordsWhile reading Greasy Lake by T. Coraghessan Boyle, the reader notices that the writing voice of Boyle is quite distinct. Boyles voice is distinct because he has a satirical way of writing stories about the everyday life of people. He focuses on the unusual people and their peculiar circumstances, which in Boyles case just adds to his already humorous stories.

Art Simmons Novelty
439 wordsNovelty is defined and something that is new or unusual. Under this definition I think that both Laurie Simmons and Meyer Vaisman displayed much novelty in their work.

While Simmons does not deal with reality, Vaisman chooses to openly recognize re...
