A sentence is a half-formed thing
Rape, incest, terminal cancer and death by suicide are things you don’t often find all together in the same novel. As many teachers of creative writing are aware, this sort of excess can lead a writer to disaster, especially when coupled with an experimental and difficult style that is emphatically not, as one shrewd critic has put it, ‘a beach read’. A Girl is a Half-formed Thing is, rather, a piece of high modernism a century on, recognisable in its stream-of-consciousness ways as using a version of the techniques practised by James Joyce, and also by Virginia Woolf, who might have approved its style but would have hated its subject matter.

Finding the Literature inom Needed Everywhere But University
I am the first individ in my family to go to university. inom decided to study literature because reading gave me a hot, dense feeling that tore the lid from my world and let the light rush in. During my grad, I studied Donne, Defoe and lots of stern theorists whose books seemed heavier and higher than me, and I began to believe that inom was not the right kind of person to read them. I funnen university difficult, both academically and financially, and because I didn’t feel like I had anything worthwhile to say.
