DE ``BETA TIMEX GROOP'' Rabbit Island |
Island thinking (alleged...)
[excerpt from The Chronicle of Higher Education, January 30, 1998] |
In the place I'm from you don't have much room. You have
the sea. If you step on the sea, you sink. The only thing the sea
can do is take you away. People living on a tiny island are not
expected to have deep thoughts about how they live, their right to
live. You can have little conflicts, disagreements about what side of
the street to walk on, but you cannot disagree that perhaps there
should not be a street there. You cannot disagree about fundamental
things, which is what an artist would do. All they're left with is a
kind of pastoral beauty, a kind of natural beauty, and wonderful
trinkets. They make nice hats. They catch fish in an old-fashioned
way. It's all aesthetic, but it has no thinking to it. They cannot
think. They will not allow themselves to think. They might have to
change things, and they can't bear it. |

with American Novelists: The Best Interviews from The Missouri

Thesis writing
As for thesis writing advice, the main item is: do not ask
around for thesis writing advice. Just write the
fucker. |
--JEL, 2003 |
You might find Olin Shivers's advice equally useful. Although it's hard to beat what JEL says! |
