Over the course of the years on this Blog, I've found the short-form blogpost format somewhat limiting at times. Posts have spilled over into subsequent posts. Below are a number of multi-entry serial posts I've done. One, Thyraphobia, a personal essay, is book length. It runs almost 70,000 words. At some point I may revise it and try to publish it. Another, the Ur-Story link is a bit of literary theory, more particularly a way of understanding the substance of "literary" works. It branched out to my readings of a number of works from the "Gilgamesh" through to Nicholson Baker and Tom McCarthy with its central idea in mind. These specific applications of the theory can be found in the other Page, Jim's Book Club. Enjoy!
