Review of SubwayLand
I liked this piece, but it requires some kind of lead in. It does not stand alone. I think if the narrator had stated why he was in the subway looking for inspiration it would have plumped it out more, if you will. Instead he says things like “I wrote a column once…” and I think “Why?” More background would have been helpful. However, if it was included in a series about finding inspiration for creative endeavors, then I believe it would fit nicely. The sound was very good. I felt like I was in the subway, which I greatly enjoyed.
