Art’s Place: Stories and Diversions door Michael Fedo
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.A very unique collection of stories, many with characters from a theme. The first story - Art's Place has characters going on about various artists in a conversation at a bar.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I was excited to receive this book because it was listed as containing a story about quilting becoming an Olympic sport - sounds intriguing! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The stories are all fresh and interesting, putting a new, fun twist on usual situations, making them delightful to read. I highly recommend this book.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I was really looking forward to this collection because I love comic writing. Now the interesting thing is that many of the essays herein start from what are wonderfully funny ideas - a diva musical page turner, a working men's joint for the discussion of high art and literature - and they are almost all well executed but, and it is a big but, they are not as funny as they could be and should be. Comic writing is difficult, as a writer I know this only too well but when compared to the big boys of comic literature Mr Fedo comes up short.

Three stars for effort and basic premise.… (meer)
This is a well-intended but crudely-written account of a dreadful incident in the supposedly progressive city of Duluth almost a century ago.

I understand that there is a later edition of this book, and I hope that some of the problems were solved there.
