As part of the SF and fantasy course I mentioned in my last post. Reading Frankenstein was even more difficult, but there was a singular anxiety that is reflected in that writing - the anxiety of being alone. Perhaps it stemmed from the isolated environment Mary Shelly was when she first wrote the story. My s...Alien...

Shifting Sands: Herland

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2012/09/herland.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Monday, September 24, 2012. Her ideas in Herland depict that women achieve much if they can live outside the boundaries defined for them in a masochist world. She also advocates that motherhood is not a right but a great responsibility and only the worthy should be allowed to bring up a child. It is a developed thinking, but in aiming f...Like ...

Shifting Sands: The original question

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-original-question.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Monday, January 26, 2015. Which brings me back to the idea that the entire universe, and thus our complicated world with its complicated lives, are essentially all part of a big whole. We all got scattered in an explosion, and are now wandering to find our way back to the whole. But are we really looking to get back to the whole? I suppose not&...

Shifting Sands: June 2013

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Monday, June 24, 2013. Does a misunderstanding or misconception ever correct itself? In stories, misconceptions often place themselves at the center, sometimes spinning the entire tale around. Mostly, in the end, people speak up, and miraculously the fog lifts. Monday, June 10, 2013. And so they are ever returning to us, the dead. Sebald's char...

Shifting Sands: This way for the gas, Ladies and Gentlemen

http://slidingsands.blogspot.com/2013/07/this-way-for-gas-ladies-and-gentlemen.html

I prefer perplexity, doubt, uncertainty, not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material, but because that is the way we humans really are. Friday, July 12, 2013. This way for the gas, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am sometimes embarassed of my interest in holocaust literature. There is something morbid about wanting to read the tales of death chambers, of cattle cars, of people being pulled out of their homes in middle of the night. The tone of this story, and most of the others that fo...

Wandering expressions of a bright shadow ...: Top 5 IPLs

http://thewallcrasher.blogspot.com/2009/05/top-10-ipls.html

Wandering expressions of a bright shadow . Musings of a deranged mind. Visuals of a traveller . Confusions of collective loneliness . On journey of self discovery . Tuesday, May 26, 2009.
