Field Trip City

I finished Lord of the Flies and Heart of Darkness yesterday. Both weren't really much better than I remember them being, to be honest. I find Conrad's writing style blasé and Golding's is too abstract for a modernist text (I was kind of surprised by his use of the word "niggers" in the second-last chapter, given that the version I read in high school probably used the word "savages"). Salih's book was the best of the three.

My Race and Cinema prospectus is done. I tested out my digital recorder and it's good to go. I now have to come up with some questions for Linda Hutcheon to give it a test run.
