Why this must be read:
Today, I'm reccing poetry! This is a reworking of the T S Eliot poem "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock" as a post-Call of the Wild story. I am floored by how the author manages play with the themes and phrases of the original poem, while reworking it into Ray Kowalski's POV. His slangy language works strangely well with the poem. It's sometimes funny and sometimes kind of sad, but it's always so perfectly Ray. I really can't recommend it highly enough. (And come on, it's short! Go read it!)

Oh, SO cool! I had never read that--thanks so much for the rec!

Yay! Reccing is so much fun. (I confess that I always check the comments of the fic a couple of days after to see if I had an effect...)

And yeah, I love that poem so much.
