Eric "Glossolalia"

Glossolalia Eric, The experimental part of this piece is the typography and the fact that the story switches from a story about Old Man Pellum to Old Man Pellum telling certain parts of his life throughout the story. One thing that is hard to believe is that, Old Man Pellum is supposed to be “crazy” yet, his first little story he references Poseidon, which requires some intellect, but the rest of his stories or rants sound like a country man. I think that those might be the portions that need work in order for them to be a bit more believable. Other than that, I really like the meta fiction—or a story within a story—within this piece. I also like the fact that when I started reading this piece I didn’t expect the story to be about the old man, I felt like my mind was going in one direction with the beginning and by the end of page 2/beginning of page 3, you’ve switched my thinking process—that’s cool.
