As a modern reader I wanted to enjoy them and tried but just could not get past the language. In writing so Kipling tended to write in a language he saw as reflecting how the soldier spoke, typically a Londoner. ![]() Each week I’ll be publishing a Barrack Room Ballad in order of Kipling’s original publications. This is why I revised the language and want to share my enjoyment of Rudyard Kipling with you. But not because of the subject - I could tell it was interesting, but I could not power through the language and really appreciate it. ![]() My sisters once gave me a book of verse that this dedication is from - and I struggled to read it. ![]() “Dedication to T.A.”, Barrack-Room Ballads and Other Verses (1892), Rudyard Kipling ![]() I have made for you a song, And it may be right or wrong, But only you can tell me if it’s true I have tried for to explain Both your pleasure and your pain, And, Thomas, here’s my best respects to you!

There are many similarities between this novel (which I believe is one of Crutcher's best known), and the two others that I read, Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes and Chinese Handcuffs. I read two other Crutcher novels for the YA course that I took as an undergrad. But, like other Crutcher works that I've read, it's about so much more than sports, though the characters are gifted athletes. We're supposed to choose texts that cover different genres, so I guess this one would fall under "sports" literature. Whale Talk wasn't specifically assigned, but I read it as one of my "independent choice" options. This book is another one that I read for my YA lit class. I'm still feeling a little achy as I write this.hopefully I feel better in the morning, because I have another long week ahead of me!
