This page catalogues various writings and mumblings that I deemed worthy of preserving, but (currently) have no place for elsewhere on this site.
- Behind the glass
- Essay written for the Advanced English course I took at university. The assignment was to 'describe a location in detail' with the emphasis on vivid descriptions. Although the result is perhaps too rich in unnecessary imagery, I still like the storyline and how it mixes narrative with framing. This version is edited to remove some awkward phrases and readability is generally improved without changing too much of the original story.
- Machband Effect
- A strange visual effect, nicely illustrated on the main page of this website.
- Achilles paradox
- Feel like you can never catch up with your work? It might not be as impossible as you thought...
- Review of John Fowles books
- One of my favourite authors is John Fowles, and here I present several one paragraph reviews of his books I've read.
- The Prince and The Magician
- A short story by John Fowles from his book The Magus.
