I really dont know if it is... my teacher just gave me the four short-stories cuz thats what im doing
Heres my review :uhhuh:
Anyways, my fav was definately "Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 3 Op. 30" by Jacqueline Tsui Kiu Wu. Thought it was excellent, I really did, and it related to my work in some parts. My only prob was, a few weeks ago i was surfing the net (looking up short-story writing stuff of course LOL) and I found some site somewhere... and no, I can't remember the address... where someone had posted a story they wrote a few years ago at uni... and sounded
remarkably similar to Jacqueline's. I'm not trying to suggest plagarism, or anything like that. Im' gueesing that it was just an amazing coincident! But still, it was really weird... was sooo similar to Jacquelines, except they ended up having the guy commit suicide rather than the chick... hmm..... :s
The story "Just before his head exploded..." by Claire Garrett was very... umm... different, i thought. I actually didnt like it! I admire it as a work, and I understand why it got 50/50, but I honestly couldnt make head or tail of it! (sorry Claire Garrett, if you're reading this! or your friends!) I just couldnt relate to it. I never liked "Hitch-hiker's guide to the Galaxy" and thats what it reminded me of, soo yea.
Nobody seems to have written any comment about "Sheba's memory" by Jeanavive McGregor. I liked it, I thought the imagery and emotive language was excellent. But I couldn't really absorb myself in it... I dunno, maybe it was all the history-related stuff in it (at some points i was so confused i was skipping paragraphs!) but it was good, nonetheless.
aaaand, last but not least, "Spinning Straight" by Allison Blamey... was really good! Again, it was full of history-related stuff, but this time I could understand what was going on (I think!). Was good juxtaposition of the two very different yet entwined story lines.
okaaaay, back to work for me now that i've had my two penny's worth... hehehe...
