There are short stories, and then there are Corwin Fox short stories - and those don香蕉视频直播檛 get much shorter.
The B.C. musician and music producer has added 香蕉视频直播榩ublished author香蕉视频直播 to his portfolio, with Kill Love - a book of one-sentence stories.
Fox said the idea for a book of one-sentence stories came by happenstance.
香蕉视频直播淚 started writing one-sentence stories by accident - I was just trying to crack up my bandmate, Laurel,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 was replying to an email and I just wrote this funny once-sentence response that turned into a story - which is in the book, incidentally香蕉视频直播 I cracked myself up; it was just funny. But then that night I started thinking香蕉视频直播 I wondered what else I could do?
香蕉视频直播淪o I just started writing more to see what I could do. Could I write sad ones, funny ones, dark ones? What can I do with a one-sentence story. I was writing them every night until I had dozens of them. Then I realized there was a theme tying a whole bunch of these together, so I just cleaned it up, grouped them, and made Kill Love.香蕉视频直播
The Vancouver Island-based artist香蕉视频直播檚 one-sentence stories are akin to extremely free verse poetry. There is no consistent pattern or word count from one story to the next. Some stories are 20 lines long; others are five words long.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 almost a literary form - or it could be a literary form,香蕉视频直播 said Fox.
Corwinisms, if you will.
Fox said some of the stories are autobiographical, while others are pure fiction. There are even stories of invented words, such as 香蕉视频直播榓mpersymphonialocity香蕉视频直播 - the rate of speed at which two or more musical ideas merge. 香蕉视频直播楩ox said the book is 香蕉视频直播榥ot really for kids - there is some dark and weird stuff in it, along with some cuss words and stuff. I wanted it to be really unfettered and experimental, but also to make it very personal.香蕉视频直播
As much as anything, Fox figures once he starts doing music gigs again, Kill Love will be a nice addition to his merch table.
香蕉视频直播淭he state of the music industry has changed so much,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淣owadays people buy computers that don香蕉视频直播檛 even come with a CD drive, so some people still buy CDs, but not a lot of people; some people by vinyl, but not a lot of people; some people are even buying cassettes again, but most people consume their music these days through streaming.
香蕉视频直播淪o I started thinking, what am I going to sell, once I go back on tour, because I will do gigs again, and it will be great, because you need your merch money. No one has CD players anymore香蕉视频直播 I already supplement my merch tables with hats or shirts, but I香蕉视频直播檓 not super into clothing, so香蕉视频直播
香蕉视频直播淭hat makes it sound like the impetus of writing this book was an economic one, but it wasn香蕉视频直播檛. That香蕉视频直播檚 just a secondary thing. I was already creating this stuff and I just felt compelled to make the book - the same as writing a song.香蕉视频直播
