So many d-bags without class who read this blog might not know that Whitney Terrell is Kansas City's foremost literary author and his latest piece not only argues for Missouri's return to bellwether status but also provides a great outlook of a great many culture clashes in the recent history of the Show-Me State.

Our big worry in Kansas City these days is that these leaders might be attracting too many nice, well-off white people back into the city's core.

What is a "literary author?" What other kinds of authors are there?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Hillary come out! I'll like to see libtards banned from writing anything unless they can pass a drug test.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the link to the NY Times article, we find a rather moribund disjointed piece, in which Mr. Terrell's politics and prejudice reveal themselves like a pig squealing in a harvested cornfield.
ReplyDeleteBob: Read much? Many authors are barely literate and rely on heavy editing.
ReplyDelete2:56, that may be true of some authors, most particularly of sports figures. But, the word used to describe this author was not "literate," it was "literary."
ReplyDeleteLiterary fiction is a genre of writing that emphasizes style and highly crafted prose over plot and action.
ReplyDeleteOther genres include crime, horror, suspense, etc.
Gosh, Tony, you really write for a bunch of hayseeds.
What is a literary author?
ReplyDelete5:33, do only literary authors write literary fiction? Your knowledge of fiction genres is good, your logic not so much.
