Hearing Voices: A Pair of Bobs One of the beauties of the web is encountering a real voice ~ one of those writers whose writing is so specific to them, whose rhythms and riffs are so distinctive, that you can practically hear the timbre of the voices. It isn't primarily about style; there are a lot of writers who try to get there with a single note of vitriol or humor or bonedeep cynicism, but the greats are much more nuanced than that.It isn't about subject matter either. I'd read these folks no matter what they had on their minds. Read A Girl Named Bob and Sour Mash with a Twist and you'll feel that you're truly getting to know them, the essential them. And if we're not, if this is fiction, then it's all the more impressive.
I want to be Bob and Sour Bob when I grow up. |
