after successfully setting off an alarm at the roosevelt university library (they really should put a sign on that door) i picked up salman rushdie's imaginary homelands, which, seeing that the first half of the book of essays remarks on being an expatriate writer, should be helpful in formulating some more concrete thesis direction.

i also borrowed mirrorworks, a collection of post-independence indian writing. it begins with nehru's remarks upon the eve of independence. great stuff.

i watched victim last night. it's a noir-ish british film from the early 1960's, about a closeted barrister who attempt to bring down a blackmail ring, and, in turn, change britain's homosexual criminal laws. dirk bogarde is my new boyfriend.
