I've read a number of James Scott Bell 's books on writing and found 'Writing from the Middle' particularly illuminating. This is the first time I've read his fiction and I found it entertaining. Jimmy Gallagher is conjured up in a few moments; his voice and comments are marvellous, his adventures springing from his personality in a comic/tragic clinch with luck. I was pleased to see that it met the criteria laid out in 'Writing from the Middle.' This is a no-frills, polished, entertaining escapade and I recommend it. And it's inspired me to write some more short fiction.
