标题: 《Darker Than You Wrote》作者: - Mike Resnick 【EPUB】
Darker Than You Wrote by Mike Resnick You lied, Jack. Yeah, I know, you had to change his name to Will Barbee for legal reasons. I have no problem with that. And you embellished a little here and a little there. That's okay; it's what novelists do. But you know what they say about Karen Blixen's _Out of Africa_ -- that every single sentence is true, but the book, taken as a whole, is a lie? Same thing with _Darker Than You Think_. You took Jacob Bratzinger -- I'm sorry: Will Barbee; whoever heard of a protagonist called Bratzinger? -- and romanticized the hell out of him. Made him some kind of hero. Even gave him a happy ending. You did all that just to make a sale. Well, let me state just for the record that he wasn't romantic, and he was no hero, and, above all, he didn't end happily. I know. I was there. I'm sure shrinks hear a lot of strange stories during their working hours.
