Herman Melville did write something other than sailing. Very funny story, very insightful mind......... ]]> http://blog.roodo.com/qigung/archives/7145081.html http://blog.roodo.com/qigung/archives/7145081.html Admirable Writer Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:57:40 +0800 Birthmark by Nathaniel Hawthorne

This short story is like a fable, it presents the consequence due to the protagonist's obsession of perfection......... ]]> http://blog.roodo.com/qigung/archives/7144987.html http://blog.roodo.com/qigung/archives/7144987.html Admirable Writer Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:40:21 +0800 Thomas Wolfe

I bought a book " The Hills Beyond" by accident a couple of years ago and got to know this novelist who died much too young(1900~1938). "The Hills Beyond" was published by Wolfe's editor after he perished. Wolfe was a very talented and hard working writer who wrote about broad topics, some are quite sad, some are very brilliant. The same figures would turn up in different stories to complete a long story that unfolds throughout several decades. Readers would grow up with his personages and laugh and tear with them.
The achievement Wolfe has reached is far beyond his too short life, one would be deeply touched by his extraordinary novels and his devotion to writing. ]]> http://blog.roodo.com/qigung/archives/6141455.html http://blog.roodo.com/qigung/archives/6141455.html Admirable Writer Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:45:13 +0800
