jazzfishNote to self: when procrastinating by taking a survey and posting it on LJ, don't post until much, much closer to the time the paper has to be done. Otherwise everyone else will do the survey and you'll be procrastinatorially obligated to read through their answers.
Paper is coming along pretty well. I've basically said everything that needs saying about O'Connor's "The River" and "Parker's Back." ("Parker's Back" is a bloody brilliant piece of writing. O'Connor could only ever write one story, really, but this is the epitome of it.) And I've basically got the two Bernard Malamud stories ("Angel Levine" and the rather eerie "Take Pity") under control. So it's just Nathanael West's Miss Lonelyhearts that I'm fearing. Plus I have to go back and replace all instances of "BLAH explain this" with an actual explanation of whatever this is.
Third cup of tea. The Incan monkey god should be visiting me soon. (I like monkeys.)
