81. Virtual Conference Reid Michell Essay
    Essay by Reid Mitchell.  
    http://www.albany.edu/history/hist_fict/Mitchell/Mitchelles.htm
    
    Extractions: She said, "Well, I could talk to him."....I asked Old Annie if Mr. Herron could understand her when she talked to him, and she said, "Enough." I asked if she was glad about seeing him again and she said yes. "And glad for him to get to see me," she said, not without some gloating that probably referred to her dress and the vehicle. The story that emerges from these contradictory sources is almost biblical in intensity. The murder, the cover-up, the guilt that Anne suffers, the long years in which George perhaps remembers, perhaps forgets the murder, and the final confrontation between Anne and George when he could no longer defend himself, and when she knows her mere presence is enough to remind him of his guilt. This, the reader feels, is what "A Wilderness Station" is all about. The story we are tempted to piece together from the sourcesGeorge murdered his harsh brother, Anne encouraged him to cover up his crime, but could not live with the guilt and accept it as hers, only to years later come and confront Georgemakes sense of the fragments, and, more importantly, is satisfying as a narrative. But there is no guarantee it is what happened. Perhaps Anne really did go insane. It's unlikely but barely possible that Anne really did kill her husband and George covered up for her. The reader feels impatient with Christena Mullen for not understanding the nature of Old Annie's visit to George, but perhaps it is the reader who is seeing more than is really there.

84. HH Munro (Saki) - A Biography
    Home, Weblog, Downloads, Danger, Saki, Webcam, Fri 7 Feb 0913 in UK. HH Munro('SAKI') a Biography December 18, 1870 - November 13, 1916, Back to Saki index.  
    http://www.jonrennie.com/saki/bio.php
    
    Extractions: Hector Hugh Munro was at various stages in his life a colonial policeman, a political satirist, a journalist, a historian, an author of novels, short stories and plays, and a soldier. He is however best remembered for his fiction, for which he adopted the pen-name 'Saki' - selected from the Rubaiyat (600 short four line poems) of Omar Khayyam, in which several sections were addressed to a 'Saki' - Farsi for 'cup-bearer'. As an aside, Omar Khayyam was a Persian Mathemetician, Astronomer, Philiospher and Poet (1048 - 1131 AD) whose textbook "Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra" contained the first solution of the cubic equation Munro was born in Akyab, Burma on 18th December 1870. He enjoyed his childhood in Burma (even raising a tiger-cub) until his father, a Scottish military policeman, sent Hector, his sister Ethel and brother Charlie back to Scotland to be raised by their two aunts Tom and Augusta. Hector regarded the aunts as tyrants and many believe that he later took his acerbic revenge on them in his fiction. He returned to Asia in his early twenties as an officer in the Colonial Burmese Military Police (a profession later briefly followed by Eric Blair - better known as George Orwell). Hector's health suffered badly, however, and he had to return to England after only a year.

    Extractions: Q: What draws you to short stories as opposed to novels? What do you find that the shorter form enables you to do that a novel perhaps would not? A: I seem to turn out stories that violate the discipline of the short story form and don't obey the rules of progression for novels. I don't think about a particular form, I think more about fiction, let's say a chunk of fiction. What do I want to do? I want to tell a story, in the old-fashioned waywhat happens to somebodybut I want that 'what happens' to be delivered with quite a bit of interruption, turnarounds, and strangeness. I want the reader to feel something is astonishingnot the 'what happens' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me. Q: Where do you get the idea for a story or for a particular character? A: Sometimes I get the start of a story from a memory, an anecdote, but that gets lost and is usually unrecognizable in the final story. Suppose you havein memorya young woman stepping off a train in an outfit so elegant her family is compelled to take her down a peg (as happened to me once), and it somehow becomes a wife who's been recovering from a mental breakdown, met by her husband and his mother and the mother's nurse whom the husband doesn't yet know he's in love with. How did that happen? I don't know. Q: What are your writing habitsDo you use a computer? Do you write every day? In the morning or at night? How long does it take to complete a story?

97. The Collected Short Stories Of H. H. Munro
    The Collected Short Stories Of HH Munro Madhuram Nagarajan. Hector Hugh Munro isbetter known as Saki, the pseudonym that he wrote his brilliant satires under.  
    http://www.freshlimesoda.com/reviews/madhuram.htm
    
    Extractions: Hector Hugh Munro is better known as Saki, the pseudonym that he wrote his brilliant satires under. His short stories are characterised by scathing wit, a parody of mindless society, and the hypocrisy that was (and, needless to say, is) ubiquitous. And then, of course, there were the young men, who - don't ask me how - 'stayed' young. For instance, I give you this excerpt from 'Reginald' - "My dear Colonel," purred Reginald, "fancy admitting such a thing! Such a give-away for one's age! I wouldn't admit being on this planet in '76." (Reginald in his wildest lapses into veracity never admits to being more than twenty-two.) He's at his best when mocking convention, and his protagonists are uniformly decadent and ultra-wicked. 'The Unrest Cure' brings to the fore the unique qualities of the truly remarkable Clovis Sangrail. He decides, upon overhearing a conversation on a train, that a clergyman and his sister are getting all too set in their ways. What they need, but don't know yet, is an unrest cure, which he proceeds to provide them; turning their pleasant country existence into a breeding ground for violence and, well, of 'un'rest. And how.
