Alvaro Zinos-Amaro: Absence of Self

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality. - Iris Murdoch // The interplay of thought and imagination is far superior to that of muscle and sinew. - Isaac Asimov // The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience. - Emily Dickinson // A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. - Lao Tzu // Do whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will. - Friedrich Nietzsche // The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses. - Francis Bacon // Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are. - Soren Kierkegaard // The possible ranks higher than the actual. - Martin Heidegger //

Absence of Self

The latest issue (September 2011) to reach my mailbox of that marvelous publication, The New York Review of Science Fiction, contains my essay on Karen Joy Fowler's short stories ("Absence of Self").

The issue arrived here while my parents were visiting from Spain, last month; nice for them to be able to see my name in print :-)
