I did buy his short story collection Palo Alto was very disappointed... The stories seemed very immature(not just the subject matter) the actual writing style. I also read his "inaugural poem" again-disappointed. i will not be pursuing anything else literary from Mr. Franco.cbaustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749593884838793759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693401219959272564.post-24777832361492338182013-01-23T06:23:20.544-05:002013-01-23T06:23:20.544-05:00It's sad, funny, & disappointing at the sa...It's sad, funny, & disappointing at the same time. It seems that famous people can have a platform to do whatever they like, even if they aren't good at it & their platform is from The Real Housewives of somewhere to begin with. I'm just glad those platforms don't allow them to become teachers or doctors. That would be dangerous! At least all people risk now is the waste of their money.Emma Burcarthttp://emmaburcart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693401219959272564.post-18079032077218782302013-01-22T11:11:10.588-05:002013-01-22T11:11:10.588-05:00Only time will tell, Joshua, but my gut feeling is...Only time will tell, Joshua, but my gut feeling is no--not a paradelle (parallel?) situation.Robert Lee Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733003865003484352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693401219959272564.post-37783280864334446912013-01-22T11:08:24.381-05:002013-01-22T11:08:24.381-05:00Any chance Franco's bad poem is a work of geni...Any chance Franco's bad poem is a work of genius in disguise? Such as the "Paradelle for Susan"? Or is it really just bad? (I haven't read it yet, but I take particular interest in Franco b/c his MFA is from my alma mater.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160019550828281289noreply@blogger.com
