Corvus, what? What? You didn't like Ulysses?
Am I the ONLY person in the world who genuinely likes Ulysses???? I think the use of words is gorgeous.....
(but I will never be able to eat kidney....)
I think this list is good, and interesting, and amusing, and basically right.
But... I also think that rules are made to be broken and a skilled writer can breath freshness into cliches. But it takes a lot of skill. I think a story that broke a lot of the rules simulataneously would really make me groan and walk away...but one or two, skillfully managed, for a reason... that's where the line moves from craft to art.
