And, since I'm a Shakespearean/English Early Modern period kind of guy, I struggle with Modern and Postmodern literature. As far as Joyce, I loved Portrait of the Artist, but Ulysses absolutely drove me bonkers. That's doubly strange because I absolutely adore Faulkner. Absalom, Absalom! anyone? |

Thanks Appleridge. To all you literary folks, I'm half-tempted to raid my bookshelves for something more challenging (though I do have several non-fiction books I should be reading)--but there is also something to be said for a less 'ambitious' novel that delivers on a solid plot and decent characterization without all the 'fancy' stuff. :evillaugh: Hmm, I hadn't even thought of that--but OLTL does definitely like their interwoven scenes. Interesting. I think my intention was to have both men's thoughts be able to stand on their own (so you could read Kyle or Oliver's only and it would make sense) but also for them to sort of build and expand upon one anothers. Thanks--glad you liked it. So, do you have a specialization in terms of early modern lit? Are you a Jacobean type? Or Restoration era perhaps? If I'd gone onto grad school, I'm not sure what I would have focused on--of course if I'd had serious plans to go onto grad school, I might have done a creative writing BA instead of English. Of course I do feel a bit like Avenue Q's Princeton when it comes to what one does with a BA in English--as I'm not really putting it to use. :LMAO: Edited by luke75b, Dec 28 2009, 09:09 PM.

I love the inner thoughts and how similar they were....I think they are both in the same place about having sex again because this time it's not just sex it is making love and they are committing themselves to each other with every touch and kiss. |

While I can't join in on the literature discussion, I did thoroughly enjoy this. Fantastic work. |

Awesome! You really nailed the characters and exactly what I think must be going through their minds before their next time together. Thanks for posting. |

I really like this piece. It would be great if we heard more of Kyle and Oliver's perspectives regarding their second first time. However, I also think Brett and Scott do just fine conveying these emotions (their passion for one another, their fear of taking the wrong step, etc.) on their own. OT: I'm more of a fan of 19th century British Literature, Black British literature, and almost anything Shakespeare. Now it seems I'm also a lover of 21st-century Kish fanfiction. |

I am specializing in Shakespeare. I fell in love with his plays and poetry years ago. It's quite literally a dream come true that I get to work professionally on the Bard. More generally, I like the drama of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Funny thing is, though, when I went back to academia, I thought for sure I'd become a modernist/post-modernist scholar of some kind. Didn't work out that way, though. :hi: |
