ecriture lisse

here is why i don't like reading books written by journalists:

they want to tell a story about one person's experience. very early in the story comes a paragraph that always is like this:

"Janette is a short woman, five foot two, with a cheerful, engaging personality. She has short brown hair and today it was swept back, a red plastic headband holding it in place."

i don't like knowing anyone's hair color.
