3 posts | 1 read
Irish In Loving Memory of Us All is a collection of interconnected short stories, new and revised, peopled by car detailers, carpet cleaners, hospice volunteers, soldiers, teachers, fishermen and just plain real-life fictional folk with names like Michael, Devon, Jeff, Kathy, Cheryl, Sarah, Glen, Ben and Danielle. James Freeman’s friend and mentor, now sorely missed, said of the manuscript of this “Scintillating, heartbreaking and often heartwarming new stories by a master storyteller Freeman gets inside his characters like no one else. I am proud to call him my friend and fellow writer.”—Bill Hotchkiss, Author of Spirit Mountain, Climb to the High Country, The Medicine Calf, and many, many others (1936-2010).

Two DNF's in one week is a new record for me.

I just couldn't get through this poorly edited mess. There is a huge difference between writing mundane characters and boring characters. These are all unfortunately boring. The seemingly random stream of consciousness did nothing for the story and was just weird and unnecessary.

Having a lot of mixed feelings about this book. Reading up about the author a bit and he is a genuinely nice guy so judging it harshly feels unfair.

But this book is edited shoddily and the writing itself is disjointed and rambling. Not to mention how writing about a real life kid who died tragically and writing from his POV is weird and unethical especially making money off of it. 🤷‍♀️

Doppoetry Like sorry but who the fuck finds out about a tragedy and then goes “This inspired me to write a story. I'm gonna pretend I know what this kid thought and his mannerisms and about his wife and daughter. And call them “baby“ and give my daughter a random nickname“

Excuse me?? Hello?? This is weird AF (edited) 6mo

Since Haunted was a no-go, I rolled again and got an 11. Irish Wake was actually written by one of my college professors, so it would be nice to read something by someone I've known.
