Your Influences?
Dear Folks,
I mentioned in another strand about writers I've kind of wanted to be in the past.
I'm glad I'm me, nowadays - but who would you lurve to write like, if you could?
My personal list would be:
Kurt Vonnegut (entertaining, ingenious, and just plain strange - what a mind!)
Garrison Keillor (what an unmistakeable and entertaining voice! A masterful storyteller, and for me, that's something I adore. I used to approach writing in a kind of arty rather worthy way - but now (and for a long time) I love the art of the great story tellers.
Tim O'Brien (just great dialogue, and great ability to choose situations and crises which are about far more than the situation or crisis!)
I'll stop there. Over to you.
Chris ?{;^)
