Let the Right One in


  • Documents Detail a Girl¡¦s Final Days of Bullying

    News that reminds me of the Swedish novel. Bullying, domestic violence, child abuse, hate crimes, workplace harassment... What do these events have in common? What can be done to save both the victims and the perpetrators? Is it possible to start a dialogue between the two? What kind of punishment or measures should be taken to mend the damage? What is the role of punishment? Is our system working well to heal the wound? What is a wound? What happens in an abuse case on both sides of the crime?
Violence. This book is my first horror novel. Violence of all forms, implicit and explicit, permeates the book.

      thesis 001

      I need to write a book for my thesis.
      My thesis is about books.
      So I'll be writing a book about books.
      That makes my writing sort of metaphysical.

      quote: gadget

      • No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets.
        - Edward Abbey

      Electromechanical gadgets can be annoying to the extend of "petty tyranny". What has caused this impression?
