Today's two stories have fish in common. "Jazz at 906" and "Fish Tank." I suppose outside of the jigsaw puzzle and the main character's limited interest in fishing, there's not a whole lot of fish in "Jazz at 906," not a whole lot of jazz, either. But I like the title.
I had a difficult time with the story codes for "Jazz at 906." While sex is surely a driving force in the story, there's very little if any explicit sex. Some kissing. Some sexual conversation. So I marked it "no sex." There's also very little if any explicit violence in the story, but I marked it "violent," for violence surely plays a part. Sex and violence-I didn't want any reader to feel tricked. Story codes are tricky. I don't really have a feel for it, and I'd be fine if there weren't any, but I am not complaining.
Tomorrow I think I'll post a couple of stories about bowling.
