Date: 2014-01-31 04:13 am (UTC)I think you're right about the current trend in prose writing. It's all Hemingway instead of Dickens. I teach writing, so I do think there's something to be said for clarity and simplicity. A lot of my students overwrite in a convoluted, confusing, and ridiculous way LOL that doesn't work. However, I love a beautiful turn of phrase or a delicious description and I feel like that's not encouraged now.
