Interspersed Endless Ellipses

“I wanted to like “From Mayor To Fool.” I really did. I love personal narratives in which people explain their spiritual and emotional evolution. Stories about change can be deeply moving, and I can usually overlook a lot of challenging writing or formatting in these cases.

Sadly, I couldn’t get past the way “From Mayor to Fool” was written to enjoy the story. It is a series of short interludes written as a play. The characters and settings are never clear, and the writing is a interspersed with endless ellipses and questionable spellings. This felt much more like a very promising workshop piece that needed much more editing than a finished or accomplished autobiography.”
