“I am a writer, and there comes a time when that which I write has to belong to me, has to be written alone and in silence, with no one looking over my shoulder, no one telling me a better way to write it. It doesn’t have to be great writing, it doesn’t even have to be terribly good. It just has to be mine.”
–Raymond Chandler
Our Tasteful Yet Celebratory
Second Anniversary Issue!
A Brief Introduction to
Our Second Anniversary Salute
to
Félix Fénéon
Throughout 1906, approximately one thousand three-line items appeared anonymously in the French newspaper Le Matin. They were true stories, usually of murder and mayhem (railroad and automobile crashes having a real vogue), of lives ending, beginning and changing...and none of them longer than three lines.
These strobe-lit views were collected from various sources then written with haiku precision by Félix Fénéon (1861-1944), art critic, anarchist, champion of Georges Seurat and James Joyce’s first French publisher.
In honor of M. Fénéon’s accomplishment, we dedicate this Under-One-Hundred-Word-Second-Anniversary Issue of Hot Valley Writers.
