- Latest Review: "No Poverty Between the Sheets" by Pauline Kiely
http://www.shsu.edu/~eng_wpf/authors/Ca ... s-Case.htm
It's a character study, and one that really gets to the heart of the desire for beauty and purpose in life. Paul is a high school student who can't stand living at home or, really, anywhere else but the opera. He runs away to New York to fulfill his dream to be surrounded by everything exquisite, a dream that has for years manifested itself on his person in the form of a red carnation flower, which everyone else takes as some kind of mockery of authority. Unfortunately, the means he has to achieve what he wants most runs out, and the threat of outside forces to destroy the beautiful possibilities he's conceived forever sends him over a railway platform's edge. It's a captivating third- person narrative that reads smoothly and really hits the spot hard for any reader who can't get enough of that good old tragic style the world once loved. Hope you all like it! Happy reading!

For Sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.
Yup, that's an entire story. It was written by Earnest Hemmingway, who won money on a bet that he couldn't write a story in six words. Interesting, isn't it?
