Fiction writers from the Naples Writers' Workshop read successful stories and ask "Why Is This Good?"
We discuss how fiction works, the craft of writing, literary art, and what we can learn from examples of excellent writing.
Join us twice each month for our workshop podcast.
Why Is This Good? is hosted by Kristine Gill, J. C. Bronsted, and Rob Curtin.

In this episode, we discuss “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” by Harlan Ellison. What can we learn from a story that depicts some of the most horrible things we might imagine? How can we quickly set up a story’s situation? How do we distinguish a situation from a story? How can we quickly introduce a group of characters and keep them distinct?
