Fall quarter begins

How quickly these terms go! I can't believe that this one has started already. By the way, the only comment I ever got on this blog is totally inappropriate. I need to google the print to see what it says. Soon I promise. I don't have the faintest idea of how to get rid of it. Would appreciate it if any of you bloggers out there have the know how.

Meanwhile, my latest read was Fear of the Flood in order to have some idea of the authors' LeGuin and Atwood who spoke at the 1st Arts and Lectures '10 session last week. What violence especially against women, Atwood singularly presents in this dystopic book. In her interview in the Oregonian she said that she is often castigated for this, but she says that she communicates what she does as a writer and what the muse dictates she writes. She says in some way despite the cruelty, the reader always finds some hope. True, if one understands the ending. Fortunately LeGuin asked her what she meant by the ending, "Who were the singing people entering the story at the end?" Atwood said that where Hope resides.
More of this later.
