Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for June 26, 2012
Transcript:
Bucky: What did you think of my new story? Rob: Well, if you ever think of a plot, jot it down. Any plot I'm not picky. Bucky: Frankly, I'm having problems with the middle of this book. Rob: You and me both. Like when your cat goes off to fight zombies but then you spend the next nine pages talking about birds on a power line. Bucky: It's meant to be like "Ulysses." Rob: It came to like useless-es.

A meditation on our feathered friends, if you will…Ten little, nine little, eight little birdies…..seven little, six little, five little birdies….four little, three little, two little birdies and one more for desert! The End.

In Bucky’s case, it’s stream of unconsciousness.

I love it – the whole messy crew! Darby Conley must be an animal lover to write it. I wonder how many pets he has.

I’m so glad I can see it by just clicking on it on my google page as before without having to find it on the web.

Zombie books tend to be stream of unconsciousness.

One does wonder a bit just what is in the smithy of Bucky’s soul these days.

Or maybe “Moby Zombie”. Herman Melville’s Great Big Book is pretty nonlinear too, and it has a lot of long digressions about Stuff. (Still more fun to read than Ulysses, though.)

At this rate it’ll be a classic. And I’ll be forced to teach it to my students.Few people know that the entire first printing of Ulysses was burned because the publisher decided it was too risky. Why, oh why did he change his mind and have it printed and distributed?
So technically there is no such thing as “first edition” of Ulysses.

Rob needs to dig a plot and bury Bucky in it.

Piers Anthony is the same way. He’ll start expositioning one plot point and then spend 10 pages describing some minutiae ‘til you’re ready to scream “Enough!” But he is a great writer.
