Criticism

This is one I wrote after reading David Shumate’s, High Water Mark

Criticism

I like the one about Fitzgerald. The one where you’re drinking with Fitzgerald and he’s so drunk he doesn’t even know where he is. I’ve been there. I’m there now. And the one about Hemingway. I listen as Gertrude rolls over in her grave. “This is the thanks I get?” “A bitch is a bitch is a bitch,” he wrote to her. What the hell. It’s only eternity, after all. And now I’m done and I put the book away and the cat to bed. One life down and eight to go.
