Sobriquet 38.28
Although today was largely spent wrapping up an incredibly enjoyable weekend, I did manage to locate and copy a few articles at the library this afternoon/evening as I had planned to do. Furthermore, I reviewed Margert Scanlen's "Incriminating Documents: Nechaev and Dostoyevsky in J. M. Coetzee's The Master of Petersburg," a study of, among other things, the relationship of history to fiction. Clearly-written and convincingly-argued, Scanlen's essay also provides an excellent close reading of Coetzee's novel, paying particular attention to the troubling affinities between terrorists and writers, pathos and creation, and author and text.
For tomorrow: Read another article. Write a bit if I'm not too tired. Otherwise, transcribe a bit more.
