The new term arrives at UEA and I've had my first meeting with Amit Chaudhuri - the submission for the meeting is now up on the PhD page and represents a reasonable first draft of the first 5 chapters.
A rough cut of "Schreber in Dösen" now exists and will form the basis of the finished book - just the editing to go...

No real news, except that I'm coming to the end of the first draft of the Schreber project, which now has a title - "Schreber in Dösen." There's a new PhD submission coming up for the second week in September which will probably include a synopsis of the plot and I'm working on a replacement for the suppressed third chapter of Schreber's memoirs. Also thinking about doing an index for the Memoirs, something that I'm going to have to do privately anyway, for inclusion as an appendix to the thesis. All fascinating stuff.
Finished "Hangover Square" - wondering how much he was influenced by "The Idiot." Any Hamilton/Dostoevsky experts feel free to let me know.

An update at last! I've added the PhD and Shelved Projects pages, completed the About Me and made a stab at the Freelancing page. Now that's finished, I can go back to reading "Hangover Square" by Patrick Hamilton, a book everyone must read.
