Ever read Henry James? "Altar Of The Dead", "Daisy Miller" and "The Beast in the Jungle" are well worth a look.
Daniel Orozco: “Orientation”
That's good, if a bit too long.
5 pages is too long? what about Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis? or did you mean to comment on Zacharyyy's post about James?
also, A Rose For Emily is good too, very short
No but it's too long for what it was trying to say; The Metamorphosis's length is appropriate to its content.
well that is how lots of people take Faulkner, so far i am still in that camp, but i am coming around.
Herman Melville: "Benito Cerano"
