Adventures in Criticism: Taking Root

But you’re not here to listen to me whine (or are you?  Maybe we’d get more hits if I just whined about things).  I’m going on an adventure through an essay by Robert Scholes called “The Roots of Science Fiction.”

Fishy

I’ve been seeing some meta-narrative stuff concerning blogging, anime, blah blah blah.  As my father is currently watching a basketball game on our only tv — mine is in Memphis — I am stuck in my room, so here I am, doing some of this meta-criticism as well.  Don’t expect anything amazing.  My only real contribution, when I get around to it, is in bringing Stanley Fish to the party.
