I've nothing to suggest in the way of criticism, but I can suggest you
extend your reading a bit.  One of my favorite short pieces is "At the
Tolstoy Museum" from the collection *City Life*. I immensely enjoyed
two novella length works: *Snow White* and *The King*. The King was
illustrated by Barry Moser. The whole production is wonderful.

Why does his work bruise thy brain? It is light and delightful, and
perfumes the mind. He makes me smile. The books seem to levitate right
up out of my hands.

Get thee to a library!
