Re: Un otro interrogative
Thank you. I don't think I deserve to be in that esteemed list, but it looks good. Would you continue to read their prose if it took you nowhere?
I suppose the more one tries to analyse good writing, the more one makes errors and assumptions about just what it is that makes one story better than another.
It may well be just as healthy for new writers to tell them that writing is a form of magic and some writers can do magic better than others.
My favourite prose comes from Swanwick, it all does double duty, but I have to say he's as slow as a wet week in Wellington. His magic seems to take a long time.
