[NickAdams]

My litso is as red as krovvy.

That tornado hit your vocabulary too, Nick?

I wanted to go with the theme and use Nadsat, the teenage slang from A Clockwork Orange, this being the Korova Milkbar.

I thought it might annoy, but it's so fun.

I couldn't understand a word of it!

Kids today!

Maybe we should start a 'No Young'uns Allowed' thread...

Halo!

I was sitting here, all on my oddy knocky, with a messel on the old mozg.
I thought it was real horrorshow how these devotchkas had a mesto of their own, no place for any of us malchicks.

Now here's a mesto for all you chellovecks. The sharps have their coffee and chai, we can offer that too, but why not have a milk-plus.

Droogs, bratties all of you moodges, come and govoreet with your humble host.

I was sitting here, all alone, with a thought on the brain.
I thought it was real nice how the girls had a place of their own, no place for any of us boys.

Now here's a place for all you men. The women have their coffee and tea, we can offer that too, but why not have a milk with narcotics.

Friends, brothers all of you men, come and talk with your humble host.

Now ain't that a sight to see. I searched for the thread before I created it. O my brothers, it began ten months ago. Two brains, one idea. My apologies Ozeed. You are indeed the host. And I: a brother, but if served a drunk.

My face is as red.

Are you from Brooklyn, Nick? Your Hemingway avatar had me thinking you were from Idaho.

[NickAdams]

I'm from Queens, but Live in Jersey. I work in Brooklyn. I lived in Havre, Mt for the whole of 2003. Hemingway made want to be a writer and although I have come across some authors- Beckett, Faulkner and Borges- whose work I find ... I cringe to say better. I will always be indebt to Hemingway for opening the world of books to me- and he's still a great talent. I would put Borges under him, Faulkber by his side, but Beckett is a titan.

[Virgil]

Nice to know you better Nick, and nice to know you're a fellow New Yorker. We also share some common writers we enjoy.

[NickAdams]

I'm off for sushi and a movie, but a question so I'll have something upon my retun. Have you read Molloy? I thank you again for suggesting I read Light in August. I've been to a writer workshop or two and notice the greats always breaks the rules. Light in August had new characters being, not only introduced, but the guides for narration. And there is so many othe rthings. I find you can only break rules, if you do so in abundance.

No, Nick. I'm afraid my sole Beckett is Wiating For Godot. I want to read one of Beckett''s novels someday. Just trying to fit it in. Glad you enjoyed Light In August. Is that a great novel? One of the greatest.

I was out the door, read your post and almost wept. I have some things I must read, Midnight's Children and Quixote, because I'm committed. But I will not pick up another book afterwards unless it's one of Beckett's novels: Molloy wowed me that much.

Well thanks for that Nick. I will make it a point to read Molloy before the end of the year. I have to finish a few things first.

Lawl! Sausage fest!

Please get back to when you do. I haven't been able to discuss it with anybody. My wife said she would pick it up for that reason, but she is a reader and not a writer. I don't think she will appreciate the fantastic things Beckett had done with the first-person narrative. I decided to never write using the first-person narrative, unless I can rival Beckett.

Light in August: Faulkner is a clever fellow. He takes a book that has been narrated in the third-person limited and ends it with a first-person narrative, which remains third-person limited. There's a wonderful use of italics, and he brings a real natural feel to a narrative.

As you can see I'm big on narrative.
