We spend some time discussing the dos and don’t of writing burbs. We also read a few examples of good book blurbs and then we do an awful job of coming up with blurbs for some of our stories.

IRC #12: Oblivion Part Three – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast
Today's episode discusses two more stories in Oblivion: Stories by David Foster Wallace. First, we read and discuss his deeply disturbing flash fiction story, Incarnation of Burned Children. This one comes with a trigger warning as the imagery and subject matter are incredibly traumatic.
The second story, Another Pioneer, offers a meditation on storytelling, knowledge, self-consciousness, societal evolution, and societal destruction. We cover this complex story and touch upon post-modernism, AI, the burden of knowledge, the breakdown of society, and many, many other things.
This might just be our favorite episode of this series!
