TorontoCranks | Celebrating Critical Mass and Cycling in Toronto Est. 2001
Here at the ALLDERBLOB, we like to think our loyal readers (hi mom!) will awaken from their slumbers and jolt to attention as we post a little “creative writing” [ Please. –ed ]. This is based on a post on the webpage of the “ Amerikan Book Review ” [ plz czech spelling –ed ] entitled “The One Hundred Best Novel Openings” or sommat. What we thunk were if we could paste these strong openings together in a coherent list, we might arrive at a Very Good Story. [ UPDATE: there’s a new list in town –over at Gawke
We call it “The Everstarting Story,” for obvious reasons:
riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs. A story has no beginning or end; arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.
