The essays I'm not writing
I'm nearing the end of the 5,000 word monstrosity that is my ICW extended essay. After researching almost entirely at random, here are all the essays I haven't written:
Alienation and possession: engendering emotive and intellectual responses to writing, Toby Litt, Mark Z. Danielewski, M John Harrison
Escape Velocity: writing against escapism, Michael Moorcock, China Mieville, M John Harrison
Fucking Thatcher!: writing as a political response, China Mieville, Alan Hollinghurst, M John Harrison
I'm just not happy: trying to induce suicide in your audience, Thomas Ligotti, H P Lovecraft, M John Harrison
Some of those are jokes.
