The Short Story
A bit of time has passed since my last post on this thread, but I've been busy. I treated myself to Shakespeare's complete set of plays, all of which I consider short stories - though they are epic. Highly recommend the Complete Shakespeare Garden City Publishing edition from the mid 1930's with...- Tommy

Read the stories of John Cheever about 5 years ago. At the time I liked them. Can't say they've stuck in my mind though.- Tommy

The Short Story
Also finished a couple of collected stories editions of Cornell Woolrich. Quite prolific and inventive. Many of his stories turned into radio dramas and motion pictures. Known for the surprise ending and the hard to believe coincidences in his storylines. Regardless, his stories droop you smack...- Tommy

The Short Story
I have finished the Hemingway "Finca Vigia" edition of short stories. Ticked off about 19 of the 70 that I really liked and could see re-reading at some point. A lot of the ones I like are based on his exposure to war. Also a couple of his Nick Adams stories too.- Tommy

finished Thorton Wilder's 1928 Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey. A surprisingly fast read of an accidental death event, and a monk's inquiry seeking a why (beyond the obvious). I don't think destiny played a role, maybe fate, but certainly a case of in the wrong place at...- Tommy

Just finished my first Kerouac book Dharma Bums. Just goes to show me what preconceptions are worth - I thought it would be dense or especially broken up, but seemed a very cohesive and pleasant read.- Tommy

The Short Story
I continue working my way through several collections, focused on Hemingway, O'Henry and O'Hara. O'Henry comes away the most enjoyable thus far, I think because I connect with him as he most authentically expresses the vernacular mind and Americaness of his times. He is truly a common man's...- Tommy

The Short Story
I've steered into the 20th Century American Short Story genre by way of vintage pulp detective fiction. So much of pulp was magazine oriented, and many authors stories are now assembled and available. I think one reason I value the short story is the ability to micro-view the past. I find this...- Tommy

Vintage Pics in your vintage threads!
wasn't sure/couldn't find a thread on "yourself in artwork", this is a painting done by an artist commissioned to paint a series for auction for a country club. We were unaware of that, and it turned out at the one event we attended, we ended up being the subject of the painting. I am the one...- Tommy
