One of my favorite paragraphs in Falling Rock was when Bratcher describes his grandfather's life to be "incommensurable to mine in every way imaginable." The author listed his grandfather's jobs, "He had worked in coal, worked in construction, worked with trains..." and where he had lived, "He had fled West Virginia for Eastern Kentucky, Kentucky for South Carolina..." The sentences were not only very description but also written in such a way that flowed easily and mirrored his grandfather's impressive life.
Question: Who are some of your favorite authors, and do you take any sort of inspiration be it writing style or themes from their stories?
