Talk:John McNulty (journalist)

I removed the unsourced statement that McNulty was a pioneer of literary nonfiction. Not aware of any work by McNulty in that genre, but in any case he is remembered only for the short stories which appeared in the New Yorker and elsewhere. Made a few other corrections.KD Tries Again (talk) 14:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)KD Tries Again


 * His ‘New Yorker’ work was hardly ‘short stories’. Reportage, vignettes, anecdotes, autobiographical, character-driven and plotless. Not fiction. Recall that Mencken said of McNulty’s work ‘This is writing. This is it.’

Opening paragraphs...
... are quite excruciating to read. Not only have they little to do with McNulty, the prose is tortured in a manner so gross that it would have had Harold Ross yelling abuse, sacred and profane. I don’t give a hoot for your interpretive horse-feathers, Prof. Whatsit. Just gimme McNulty and his Toid Avenya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:DDB7:65A7:5931:A6AE (talk) 05:01, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
