abuseI liked your formal style
I also read your essay on feminsim...it was interesing but I didn't like your style in that one. It was too informal and conversational.

abuseMe again. And this is the last pointless review I give you I promise.

Good stuff, as always. However, just a bit of criticism.

I haven't read any of your other fiction, so I don't know if your style has changed since writing this, but to me the tone sort of alienates the reader in its intellectuality. You've got such a wit and earnestness in your essays that somehow didn't come across in your prose, because the writing is so stylised and heightened. Maybe try mixing it up a little. Have some shorter sentences. Describe some things in less detail. Don't be so formal.

Just a thought. But otherwise, very nice work.

abuseI recently went to a funeral whom my friend's father's wife had just died. He almost reiterated what you just said. Coincidence, eh?

abuseOh. So heartwarming. And the way you describe the girl... reminded me a lot of myself, except I have dark blonde hair.

I loved this. That's all I can say. It's such a small, beautiful piece. Good work.
