“I view my stories as sexual or personal. Curiously, I don't. When I was writing those stories I thought of them as comedy pieces in the vein of performance monologue, such as you might get with Richard Pryor, or Lenny Bruce, or George Carlin. So I don't feel vulnerable because I know the line of demarcation between "Writer Kevin" and "Narrative Kevin."” KnowsFeelsWritingStoriesMightLinesViewsComedyPiecesPerformancesVulnerableNarrativeVeinsKevinMonologues Author:Kevin Keck
“In fact, I always assumed that most everything I read was true, to one degree or another. I couldn't articulate this fact until after I read Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried and he discussed Happening Truth, Story Truth, and Emotional Truth.

I knew there was a Happening Truth behind them.” WorldCharacterFactsStoriesFeelingsCertainMy OwnBehindsSunEmotionalTruth IsDegreesHappeningsUnderstoodStructureNarrativeSun Also RisesNarrative StructureTim O Brien Author:Kevin Keck
