![]() The Emma who returns harbors a secret that is notably unremarkable. Then she’s called back home from graduate school in California to be with her father as he dies. She leaves home for what promises to be a splashy, important life. From such exceptional beginnings, Emma appears poised to leap into the mythic. As a teen, Emma and her friend Crystal even start a healing business called the Gentle Touch Society out of a McDonald’s. “A ten-day cold could be knocked down to a three-dayer, a poison-ivy rash could heal in a day, a dog-bite could scab overnight.” Soon, the people of Everton, her small New Hampshire town, are eager for her to lay hands upon them. With a touch, she can speed up the natural process of healing.

Harlan Ellison, who came along during what literary critics call the postmodern era, has taken pride in breaking the rules. Modernists like Joyce, Woolf, and Faulkner operated thus until readers could catch up to their stylistic innovations. They write for a universe of one, and others may enter at their own will. Yet - quite frustrating to the rest of us - some authors don’t need King’s advice. In On Writing, Stephen King says that the common writer who can’t share his drafts should head straight to a vanity press. But many writers attest that thoughtful feedback can help make something good become great. We want to believe that great writing happens in solitude, during nighttime hours in which genius quietly flourishes. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you happen to find yourself in Toronto in the next little while, check out his provocative new show, a “radical retelling by Cliff Cardinal” of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It.
