"Every story needs friction. Ifthere's nothing at stake, no desire, no want or need, there is no story. Every story also needs rhythm. The story writer's job is to locate the rhythm of the situations he's describing and find ways- with language and scene and summary and space break and syntax and dialogue and gesture- to mimic the rhythm in the fabric of the story. When you get the friction and rhythm right, the story works on the reader musically, with mystery and magic, with notes that seem to come from within rather than without." rv Michael Parker us $3.50 Canada $5.00 20002 72145 8
