In the Gaming Hut<\/strong> we examine the desire to play less than competent characters.<\/p>\n

The History Hut<\/strong> takes us back to the 7th century BC and the reign of Assyrian super-king Ashurbanipal.<\/p>\n

In How to Write Good<\/strong> we look at the connection between character sympathy and emotional rhythm.<\/p>\n

Finally we sidle into the Eliptony Hut<\/strong>, where we peer into the library of unexpected paranormalist Jackie Gleason.<\/p>\n
