Reads like he's absolutely channeling/mimicking Thompson. I don't think it's coincidental, at all.
Seems to do a fairly good job of it, but I'm not sure that I would read him, myself. It just feels different, to me.
- jlaternman 1y agoThis is frankly morbid, but there was a good younger writer, Kaleb Horton, who I feel channeled the spirit of HST effectively, without the sense of direct mimicry. He died a few days ago, at a far-too-young age, but his work was excellent: https://kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-just-a-change/ https://kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-just-a-change/ https://archive.is/RrjPI#selection-323.18-323.43 https://archive.is/RrjPI#selection-323.18-323.43 There will be plenty of others who carry the same torch, I'm sure – HST was one of a kind, though. Always the way with great writers.
