| Introduction | I am working on my PhD in English Literature. I am interested in Modernism mainly and was bitten by the "Joyce bug" in my undergraduate endeavors. Other authors and poets I like other than James Joyce include: Wislawa Szymborska, Billy Collins, Jose Saramago, Ian McEwan, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell (any Utopian/ dystopian novelist really), Dante, Li-Young Lee, Jane Austen, Edith Sitwell, Jhumpa Lahiri...I could on! |
| Interests | Books, art, comics, writing, anything involving my hands like sewing, making jewelry, knitting, collage art...etc. |
| Favorite movies | It's a Wonderful Life, Bride and Prejudice, Disney films particularly Up, and all Doris Day and Rock Hudson romantic comedies... |
| Favorite music | Acoustic guitar, movie soundtracks, pop music. |
