I was at an amazing lecture by Linda Hutcheon yesterday. And I mean truly AMAZING. I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it because of the title (From Reader Response to Reader Response-ability) but she was funny and insightful and so intelligent but she wasn't one of those people who expressed simple ideas in super complicated ways like some other people I know (I'm looking at you, Gabi Schwab). It's even interesting for non-literature people because it was awesome.

When I was leaving I held open the door for Linda Hutcheon, her husband and Jonathan Culler and the latter held open the door for me and now I'm incredibly happy.

I'm now working mostly on my Abeng/Disappearing Moon Café essay about both novels' obsession with race.

Matze is officially moving to Hohenheim which is 180km from here very close to where my parents live. It's much better than where he was originally going to go, the university is actually really good even though it's in the middle of nowhere and when I visit him I can visit my parents and vice versa, so it'll be much easier and I can make perfect use of my four day weekend. It's still going to be tough but other people do it all the time, so why shouldn't we?

I really should go back to reading secondary literature.
