Krátky popis
This is a collection of stories by Grant Allen, published in
various years. The title story is personal. Allen nearly drowned
when he fell through the ice while skating as a boy in Canada, and
wrote about the experience anonymously for the Pall Mall Gazette in
1892. He claimed to have been "as dead as he ever can be or will
be" and that he had no "after death" experiences. This suited his
atheistic position, of course. In fact he was not "dead" at all;
just unconscious, and he was quickly revived by brandy and massage.
The stories are:HOW IT FEELS TO DIE. BY ONE WHO HAS TRIEDIT
(1892);MERIEL STANLEY, POACHER (1900);A STUDY FROM THE NUDE
(1895);MY ONE GORILLA (1890);THE TRADE OF AUTHOR (1889);A
SCRIBBLER'S APOLOGY (1883).The last two are non-fiction essays by
Allen about the craft of writing in his time. Here are brief
reviews by Peter Morton:"'A SCRIBBLER'S APOLOGY'. A splendidly
agonised piece about the true social worth of the journeyman
writer's life, particularly the worth (if any) of the kind of
'tootler' which Allen represents himself as being. Published in the
Cornhill in May 1883.""'THE TRADE OF AUTHOR'. This remarkable
article, published in the Fortnightly Review in 1889, has just been
identified as by Grant Allen. (It is not attributed in the
Wellesley Index.) It is a brilliant analysis of the professional
writer's plight at the time, worthy to be set against Gissing's New
Grub Street."The source of these 6 stories is the website by Peter
Morton, author of "The Busiest Man in England": Grant Allen and the
Writing Trade, 1875-1900, published by Palgrave Macmillan, as
linked from the Wikipedia page about Grant Allen.
