I do, passionately, care about the people. The woman terrifies me. The man saddens me. This is the first full short story of Richard Bausch's I read, years ago. Astonishing. Scared, but I had to finish it. How did he get me to keep reading, even as things seemed hopeless for the man? A shred of hope.
The link works and the language is good, really good but I don’t care about the people, either of them. I can feel the atmosphere, the tension and heat, how different they are but there’s no hook for me.
Jeez Louise. Blanche, did Bausch ever talk about writing this story, behind the scenes?
I always wanted to know Belle Starr, and now I think I HAVE.
Isn't he great? No, we haven't talked specifically about that story, although you can feel the influence of O'Connor's "Good Man Is..."
I love him. He used to call me Sasha.
Well now I want to call you Sasha too
😂
Let’s all call Chee Sasha. But I like calling you Chee!
