"A lot of times what's not reported in your work is more important than what actually appears on the page. Frequently the emotional focus of the story is some underlying event that may not be described or even referred to in the story."—Amy Hempel Amy Hempel is a contemporary short story writing from the United States who is known for her minimalist writing style. Please note the quote above and consider (in a 500 word response) how her attitude might seem after reading "Tuesday Night". How might the story be minimalist? What can we infer from the Beattie text? What can we infer might have been left out? Why, or why not, might this method make for stronger writing here? Where else, in what type of literature or story could this work and where do you think in would not? Consider these questions... The deadline this week is Friday, 1st October at 4pm.
