Abstract
The Muckabout: Stories is a collection of short stories that displays my growing emphasis on style and diction to sustain the reader’s attention within my work. This is accomplished, at times, by providing variations of tired, or expected, common uses of language (that is: language common to short stories that one commonly encounters in alleged “normative fiction”); and by persuading the reader to focus, most importantly, on the language and syntactical styling’s of the narrator.
