RE: JCO: The evolution of Oates writing style

Hi Lara:

I agree with the differences you give between cinematic and televisic. I
suspect that cinematic is also on the whole more continous than televisic,
especially given that commercial television accustoms viewers to violent
changes of scene and mood between the nominal "show" and the ads that of
course are the real purpose. I suspect that there might be a tendency for
televisic writing to be more aggressively "pop" in tone, too.
