Sometimes language gets in the way of the story's feelings. The reader finds himself experiencing the language of the story rather than the story. The words sit there on the page like coins, with their own opacity, as though they're there for their own sake. "A man goes into a phone booth, stirring coins in his palm. " "Stirring" is such an obviously selected word. You can feel the writer looking for the word as he sat at the typewriter.
