I take issue with "In the Garden of Love" being "self-indulgent and badly in need of pruning." But that's just me. I wrote it. Reviewers and readers don't look for exactly the same things. I write for readers. I would like to make one correction. Compressionism is not "devoid of exposition." Exposition certainly has an important part to play in the stories I write. It's simply a small part while it usually plays a much larger part in the fiction of most writers. But all in all I thought Mr. O'Driscoll's review was very insightful and even handed. I'm still learning my craft. Now I have to go on a beer run and get back to work. Go Panthers! Go Steelers!
