RE: Meet my guest, John Cheever, on this edition of Words to Learn
Ha! We talked about "malfeasance" in Creative Writing for, like, 15 minutes on Thursday.
Also, curses! You used, like, all 123 words I was gonna do for #learnwords posts :P
I'm messing, duh.
I haven't read his work. I guess I'll have to before I'm flogged by every English Englisher ever.
You seriously discussed the word “malfeasance”? Love it! Oh the word options are endless. We will never run out. Do eeet.
Anything I should start with?
I have a million ideas for you. Maybe you and @therosepatch and I should assemble a spreadsheet together. :-)
You could piggy-back off this post and write about the word "sumptuary," which Cheever uses three times in The Five-Forty-Eight.
And I'll take that as a recommendation?
Well you did ask for one! 😊
