I don’t know what to say... this is good. The patois rings true.
Thanks. That’s the natural patterns, phrasings and rhythms of people I spent a lot of time around. That kind of dialect fascinated Elmore Leonard. He was tuned to it. I’m actually from it.
That last word-Maybe-so true! Loving these most recent stories Jimmy! Thanks for the in-depth thinking and just enjoyment as a reader.
“Maybe” was a tough but ultimately correct choice to end that one. Anything else would have been an overly ornate bow on an ugly gift.
So true
Very poignant. I can almost taste the desperation.
That is a doozy. Once again, your sense of detail is astonishing. And your understanding of humanity is…. on the edge of overwhelming.
Powerful stuff, James.
I might be overdue for a funny one. Today’s isn’t funny, but I’ll try to bang one out soon.
Well done, Jimmy.
Good meeting you last night before E & TBM.
Took your advice and started a stack.
Excellent! Please read Grandmaster when you get a chance. Looking forward to reading your stuff
….i may sound crazy but this was as close to a Shakespearean play as I’ve read in months..
