User blog comment:ChristianWallis/A Look into Cohesive Writing and Ned the Nihilist/@comment-26112985-20161006203807

It should be my life objective to write something that's more fucked than Ned's monologue and his recent sequel. But I've talked enough about how disturbing and awesome it is. About the actual analysis...

A lot of this is quite ingenious. I don't really have much to say about it other than it's pretty fascinating how you were able to put all of this together. I especially liked your point on the descriptive words. Especially how, once we really take a look at them, it reveals a lot about Ned's character as a whole. It takes a jarring moment to realize that this whole story was a stream of consciousness like you said. Makes you consider how difficult it must've been to actually write it, how each word must've been painstakingly chosen in order to best suit Ned's speech.

I would've loved to hear this story from the perspectives of the other characters, but on the other hand, it would cancel out the raw feel of Ned's voice and inflections, which is what really drives the story. It's like, I wish I could just close my eyes and listen to this conversation.

Very well done.
