I discovered Speak by accident (I'm way too old for YA novels) and was very impressed. <br /><br />I found your blog by accident, too (some great things happen that way) looking for comments on "The Valetudinarian", a New Yorker short story you reviewed last year. It's in the 2010 BASS and I'm reading through the volume. I like to see what other people think. I wasn't very impressed by this story, though it certainly had good elements - but I loved what you said about him breaking rules and the shift of POV in the middle. Some people can get away with that. Here's to the day when you and I are among them.Karen Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148246613451246487noreply@blogger.com
