After finally finishing Alice Munro's selected story collection yesterday (I think I only read two pages the entire six days my family was in town), I decided to take it easy and re-read Passage by Connie Willis, one of my favorite sci-fi writers. She writes intelligent science fiction and has a great sense of pacing. Except ... I'm stumbling through the beginning of this book. The dialogue feels kind of contrived and stale, there's too much 'he said,' 'she said,' repetition, the funny bits aren't quite as funny as I once thought. Does this mean that my MFA has made me into a literary snob?
