Comments on: NEW FICTION: AN EDUCATION OF SCARS by Philip Brewer http://futurismic.com/2009/03/02/new-fiction-an-education-of-scars-by-philip-brewer/ Presenting the fact and fiction of tomorrow since 2001 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:36:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Curtis Medway http://futurismic.com/2009/03/02/new-fiction-an-education-of-scars-by-philip-brewer/comment-page-1/#comment-56553 Curtis Medway Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:06:36 +0000 http://futurismic.com/?p=6137#comment-56553 That was an absolute delight. I don't have much time to read on the internet so imagine my surprise when, having been unwittingly hooked to the rhythm of writing by the very first moment of the story, I found myself forty minutes later sitting back in my chair with a feeling not unlike sexual gratification! That was a deeply rewarding experience to read, a piece of art one feels connected with and moved by on a level that speaks quite plainly of the authors painstaking love for his characters and the darkness of human conditioning and greed. I felt bonded, hopeful, troubled, excited and tortured. This is beautiful art and the author has left me feeling like a thief having given nothing for such rewarding, talented work. Thank you for sharing it. That was an absolute delight.

I could not have predicted the ending. One cannot help but wonder what would have happened if you had of devoted yourself full-time to writing from your youth, instead of spending all those years as a programmer and part-time writer. Good luck to you in your future efforts. This was really quite good Phil; original, believable and unexpected. I could not have predicted the ending.

It's great to see it where more people can read it. This story’s haunted me for seven and a half years. It’s great to see it where more people can read it.

The notion of a vocation/avocation balance is pure genius. Loved it! The notion of a vocation/avocation balance is pure genius.
