So I just ran across a concept and thought, "Oh, like in that Orson Scott Card story. You know, the infamous one."

Would y'all know which story I meant? Which story do you think I mean?

Cuz _I_ think of this story as particularly infamous, but I'm thinking that could apply to a lot of his short stories.

This is awful meta, even for me. Bed now, before I get any worse.

UPDATE: See the later comments for the name of thestory. I don't give specifics but I pretty much spoil the concept, and what I think REALLY gives the story impact, in my remarks about it, just FYI.

Oh jeez, I can't even remember that one. Clearly I need to go back and re-read Card. *sigh*

I think [livejournal.com profile] jendavis77 was the one who read it. Beautiful beautiful story...but really painful.

That's Card for you. It's the one about isolating a musician so he can only hear nature sounds and create music that's uncontaminated by other human music, right?

Well...he does get isolated. I'll email you the rest of it so that I don't go too far over into spoiler-land.
