Maybe I recognized that in your writing so many years ago? And I hope you'll think more about that bit on the ending coming with the opening and weigh in when we get to that post.

And the Holland and Lutz and Lipsyte, there will be more of that stuff in these posts because I come from that side of things too. Still, I'm trying to include the Buzbee and others because I know that that works for others (or at least Buzbee).

I think it's a variation on the Offut, above. Also, the Carver hints at that, starting in a situation, so to speak, a point that offers some difficulty or complexity. I like that, Mark.
