Writer StatementI agree with John Gardner that the writing of fiction is the "creation of a vivid and continuous dream." To write, one enters this dream state and allows one's characters to inhabit one's being and to speak through one. My fiction influences are diverse and range from 19th-century traditionalists like Henry James, Edith Wharton and George Gissing to 20th-century modernists like James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and postmodernists like Donald Barthelme. The Decryption of Floriform X -- This short, illustrated fiction was written on Twitter circa 2008, each tweet numbered to keep track. The God of Wind and Air -- Unfinished sequel to Decryption, written collaboratively on Twitter. The Manuscript of Jacob Hall -- Why write fiction? What is it "for"? |

Jacques DeLillo, 39, and Gillian Blount, 37, had been ascending Mount Hightop in an orderly fashion, in order to replenish their home cistern with a few gallons of the pure spring water for which Mount Hightop's underground sources are so justly famous, when, due to the heavy nature of the container in question, DeLillo lost his footing on the rocky slope, plummeting heavily to the ground and sustaining a cranial hematoma; Ms. Blount, who had been holding up the other side of the cistern, succumbed to the domino effect thus created, suffering a severe if temporary loss of gravity which caused her to follow the unfortunate Mr. DeLillo. The exact nature of her injuries has not yet been determined.
