The Ballad of Reading Milton: A short story by then-undergrad Wes Anderson.
Interesting. It's weird how, reading it now, it feels like someone's bad rip-off of a Wes Anderson movie. I wonder if that would be true of most other authors/filmmakers undergrad work.
Also, this: Analecta 15 was published in 1989 (the year I was born!). just makes me feel so very, very old.

Hardly undergrad work, but I recently saw True Romance for the first time in probably fifteen years, and holy shit is it a Tarantino primer. Mannerisms, figures of speech, parts of conversations and character types.

Actually the story isn't bad. Certainly better than anything I wrote in college. Damn geniuses.

Interesting. It reads like a movie script. (So does a lot of Faulkner, which maybe explains why Faulkner was also a movie scriptwriter.)
