Dorothy Parker - Writers - Literature - Read! / Listen!

Here's an interesting writer, probably one of the very first who used the stream-of-consciousness technique (modernist writing). The story, however, is not one of my favorites. I chose it because it's got good language material for English learners! Listen to the story A Telephone Call at the Talking People Podcast

A Telephone Call (3 pages) - with notes by michelle
Read the story and also my language notes, which are an example of how to use literature to review some language points and become more fluent and correct while using your English! This story is very useful to review hypothetical language, the language functions "will" has, the modals in general, indirect speech and various verbal phrases.
