Fuck it.
Wrote that and decided to atleast have a go. Started reading Zeppelinqueen's and couldn't stop.
Really enjoyed it. Was engaging both intellectually and as a readable narrative. I kept reading and kept finding little contradictions, but realised very quickly how deliberate it all was. Loved how you sort of developed really intricate concepts around really blunt tools (ie stereotypes). I think as an EE2 student asking questions on the validity of post-modernism is essential. It's almost our responsibility to respond to the hopelessness of the whole thing, and I think your story works really well as a personal response to this.
It's the kind of idea I want to sit down and talk for days about haha.
Also thought your writing style was particularly charming. Nothing too OTT but definitely had a quirky sort of feel to it.
Anyway congrats. You should be proud of what you've accomplished.
Ps- props for the Chet Baker pic
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. If you want to begin a discussion about responding to postmodernism, let's go. Questioning our own context should be our priority as students, not studying past contexts trying to decipher their motives or "reasons" behind why they wrote. It is a shame that all great literature has been slotted into categories merely for the sake of our own convenience, just because they have similar features. Postmodernism? End of creativity? Give me a break. Story telling is an art, not an asset.
Yeah, don't get me started really. And yet, who the hell am I to question centuries of literary history? A lot hangs in the balance of our opinions. Come on people, let's get this board pumping again!
ASub, I'm with Clifford. I have saved Water/Sounds and will keep it for a very long time. It is so delicate, so amazingly lyrical. I hope your marker is a groovy dreamer so it will get the 50 it deserves.
Glad to see someone else is into jazz, instead of the Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and All American Reject crap that radiates our airwaves. Kudos!
