The 1st of August conflicts with the BOM. I would suggest either a week after the BOM or a few days before.

Jane Barlow-The Lost Recruit

This was another great story.

It was about a boy, the last one living with his mother.

He desperately wanted to join the military and tried very hard to talk his mother into allowing him to do so.
A mother ofcourse thinking of his safety and also being the only man left in the house ,would not agree.

Worth reading.

I just purchased High Lonesome (selected stories (1966-2006)) by Oats and so far in my initial reading, I find the quality of the writing and creativity of the stories superb- very: Nice one!

 

[Heteronym]

Oh, Bartleby, Bartleby: arguably the best American short-story ever written. I was almost in tears at the end when Bartleby says, "I know where I am". Read it, do read it as soon as possible!

 

[Libra]

I will.

Seoulman has started a good thing.

 

[Robert]
