I just see it from the other side -bleak and sketchy. <br />As always, art is subjective.<br /><br />It is no surprise that Prof Watkins has a rather muted and dismissive attitude towards her father's notoriety..."He was no killer. Nor was he a hero. This is not that kind of story", she wrote (paraphrased).<br />She was six when he died and it is highly doubtful they ever 'discussed' TLB.<br />Still, Paul was a major player in one of the most talked about events in American history for the last half of the 20th century so Ms. Watkin's "whimsy" towards TLB and her dad just feels indulgent and short-sighted to me - at least from a writing perspective.<br /><br /><br /><br />leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-84074881690619692172012-09-10T14:36:33.510-04:002012-09-10T14:36:33.510-04:00Loved Battleborn.

Her background is obviously very unusual and interesting and had a profound influence on her, but I'm pleased for her that a lot of the articles and reviews I've seen haven't placed too much focus on Paul and the Manson connection. That stuff is an obvious point of interest and inspiration, but I think she's talented enough in her own right that there won't always be the impulse to reference it so centrally. As Grump pointed out, she is writing fiction after all. <br /><br />She has a well-designed website for those who are interested - http://clairevayewatkins.com/index.html.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393740032118568782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-82625202355310635892012-09-10T14:19:35.085-04:002012-09-10T14:19:35.085-04:00Someone, somewhere, is teaching that in contempora...Someone, somewhere, is teaching that in contemporary writing the only valid punctuation to "creative stories" is angst and forlorn despair.<br />It simply bores me to death.<br />And the only TLB related story - Ghosts, Cowboys - has no meat to it whatsoever.

The stories were one-note, bleak, and simply "much ado about nothing". The characters were sketchy and the writing style so disjointed Claire must have been on ten Red Bulls when writing. <br />Sorry, I am suspect Claire is a very nice person and she obviously she has talent but her writing is just not my cup of tea.leary7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16573687537798248297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171370990642927748.post-21967507716688791102012-09-10T12:49:21.798-04:002012-09-10T12:49:21.798-04:00orwhut said...
