Great writing!</p>JeffSun, 13 Jan 2008 00:52:55 -0000http://contentdynasty.jennifervangrove.com/2008/01/the-start-of-a-short-story/#comment-5517184<p>Yeah I'm strangely fascinated and inspired by the works of Anais Nin (thanks Ang), Vladimir Nabokov, and Jeffrey Eugenides. I love the way that these amazing writers can draw the reader into the sexual deviancies of their heroes/heroines. Humbert Humbert is a pedophile and essentially marries a woman to seduce her daughter, Lolita, and yet Nabokov is able to make Humbert Humbert relatable in some way and there are certainly erotic scenes where the reader is conflicted, horrified, and stimulated in the same moment.</p>Jennifer Van GroveThu, 10 Jan 2008 14:31:25 -0000http://contentdynasty.jennifervangrove.com/2008/01/the-start-of-a-short-story/#comment-5517183<p>This reminds me of the start of something from Delta of Venus, a sort of accidental collection of short-story erotica produced by Anais Nin and her writing group. Obviously, you've left me hanging, so I'd like to see how it continues.. but remember that I blush easily. :)</p>clearliiThu, 10 Jan 2008 10:16:14 -0000
