Topic

Hello!
It is high time we began considering our future project topics. To be honest, for me it is quite a predicament. The reasons behind it emerge two-pronged. On the one hand, it seems challenging for me to pick out one author, for I enjoy reading and re-reading the works by a great many of them. On the other hand, it is of paramount importance to formulate a topic, and I'm not sure whether it should be a thesis-like title or something way broader. All things considered, I've worked out a list of topics I would like to expand on. Some of them are as they follow:

"The Social Slam (or Social Satire) and Protest Behind the Veneer of the Louche Scenes and What Is Generally Dubbed 'Obscenities' in Naked Lunch by William Burroughs"

"The Chasm between the Original Russian Verse and Its Personal Translation into English in Joseph Brodsky's Poetry. Translation or Rendering"

and something like this

But I'm inclined to feel that it isn't what I'm supposed to do and that the project should be broader in terms of the content.

Overview

Hi

Most of our contemporaries ween one has to be utterly insane to tackle literature. I can agree up to a certain point. The rub is if one studies, say, Malaysian literature at length he's truly zany, and I personally would envy her/him. But the above-presented statement isn' true (in my humble view) speaking of American literaure. Yes, there may be reams of gifted authors in Malaysia, no doubt about that, but the American ones are far more readable and, to make matters worse, are easier to read (it's my own contemplation). Being a nobody in the area of literature and quite a daft person in general, I've been unable to utter something more profound than the above lines. Yet hopefully I'll do my utmost, give it a try, and focus on American literature. To cut to chase, I've got prepared both mentally and physically to commence.

Awesomely yours
