Re: JCO: 9/11 fiction

Thanks, Eric. I read about that Penn film elsewhere and will check it out.
Yes, let's talk about the Mutants this week. It's at the end of the
collection I AM NO ONE YOU KNOW. It appears to be "paired" with another NYC story "3
Girls" which harkens back to NYC circa 1959.

<< I don't know if any of you are already aware of this or if Oates herself
is,
but responses to 9/11 by several very interesting directors were gathered in
a work titled "11'09''01 - September 11." It entailed eleven short films
from eleven different directors from eleven different countries. Sean Penn
directed one segment. I thought about half of them were very well done. But
I don't want to go on about it as it will get off topic.

I'd be interested in discussing The Mutants, but won't have time until
tomorrow. All the stories in the collection I Am No One You Know are superb
and worth having for anyone debating whether to buy it.
