For those new to the site, “Casually Speaking” is meant to be an informal discussion for dealing with books and literary themes. There are no guidelines for these contributions, but they may be edited for content or space issues.
Casually Speaking is designed to allow the Wolfgang group to reflect on literary issues.ributions can be based on just about  anything, so long as they are book related. The subject can be as narrow as a particular line from a poem or as broad as a discussion of the pros and cons of establishing a literary cannon. This is a particularly nice venue to write about authors in general, but we would prefer to stay away from things like “So-and-So is a fraud because he’s really not that funny in the first place.” Feel free to say he’s a fraud, just back it up. So-and-So has it comin’.
We will publish four Casually Speaking articles every quarterly issue. A Casually Speaking article should be between 1 and 2,000 words in length.
