I'll be posting my actual blog entry #1 sometime, inevitably, after 8 o'clock once I sleep off this incomprehensibly painful headache.

We will be discussing Ursula Le Guin and the suspension of disbelief or the reader's investment.

In addition, we will be contemplating and questioning Darko Suvin's ideas about hard questions and how they related to our former discussion.
I thought I could at least give an idea of what to expect for the benefit of tomorrow's class before retreating to the fetal position.

Introduction

This is Jesse Hutchings' blog for English 423: Seminar on Octavia Butler.
I am Jesse Hutchings, otherwise known as Cirque.
Throughout the next three months I will be posting my reflections and assignments for the course on this blog. Hopefully, I post something worth reading.
