Three Blind Mice. Three Blind Mice. See how they run? No. See how they
can make all sorts of useful literary elements colorful and easy to
understand!
Can one nursery rhyme explain the secrets of the universe? Well, not
exactly--but it can help you understand the difference between
bildungsroman, epigram, and epistolary.
From the absurd to the wish-I'd-thought-of-that clever, writing
professor Catherine Lewis blends Mother Goose with Edward Gorey and
Queneau, and the result is learning a whole lot more about three not
so helpless mice, and how to fine tune your own writing, bildungsroman
and all.
If your writing is your air, this is your laughing gas.*
*That's a metaphor, friends.
