Influences. Wow. Everybody. Everything. The summer after Grade 10, much to peter mullan the horror of my mother, I read Crime and Punishment. A big, red hardcover edition with gruesome, line-drawn illustrations. I mortgaged the book over the entire peter mullan summer and probably read it more than twice by the time I got it finished. A little later on I read William Faulkner’s A Fable. I thought it was a little forced, a little artificial, but I was taken by the majestic sentences, so I decided to go for The Sound and the Fury. After that, I read a big part of the entire Faulkner canon. 13 straight novels. It took me a long time to recover, of course, but the idea had definitely germinated in my brain that I would like to trade places with Bill, let him do the listening, and me do the composing. |

| Douglas Glover was the judge that year. I said to myself that there were barely half a million anglophones in New Brunswick, that if I couldn’t win a such elliott gould a dinky little contest, there would be no point in ever trying to write another story. To this day I love to watch elliott gould people who read fluently. I am still a poor reader, slow, sleepy, I have to understand everything, I have to hear it all. I’m really better off writing. And I still write for the fluent readers, like elliott gould Dudley. To keep them reading. When they should be doing something else. What was the story that won the contest? Actually, I submitted two stories. And although I appreciated Mr. Glover's writing 'first' in big letters over the title of one of them, I was even more winged off at him for not giving the other story, which was ten times better, a second place at the very least. Neither story was worthy of publication. I never tried, and never will. To me, your writing -- at least the two short story collections I've read -- seems quite unlike what else is going on in Canadian letters. |
