From the supplier: The form and meaning of a literary work depends on what the writer does with the given material. Robert Creeley's narrative form in 'The Gold Diggers, and Other Stories' is fragmented, its syntax blurred and its desperate tone understated. In 'Mabel: A Story,' the simple language is devoid of nuances that would indicate multiplicity of meanings. There is no room for irony for it is too serious. Yet the way the writer dealt with his materials created such a dense surface that the terror and cruelty in the created world is seen through an almost undecipherable opacity just as terror and cruelty is seen in the real world.
