"In the Booth" by Mark Aster (sex fantasies) 10, 10, 10
"In the Booth" by Mark Aster (MyFrThAl@aol.com). The main criticism of this story is that it is incoherent. The author jumps from one plot to another with no apparent character development. Normally, that would mean that this is a bad story; but this time that makes this a good story. Why? Well, I can't tell you. I wish I had been allowed to say things like that preceding paragraph on my literature exams back in high school and college. The instructor would read the paper and say, "Great! A+." Well, the short answer is that there's a reason for the incoherence, and it has something to do with the booth in the title. This is another good but short story. Ratings for "In the Booth" Athena (technical quality): 10 Venus (plot & character): 10 Celeste (appeal to reviewer): 10 |
