Exploring the Unreal City: Democracy in Action
http://exploringtheunrealcity.blogspot.com/2008/04/democracy-in-action.html
Exploring the Unreal City. London in life and literature. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Being a good American girl, (and being as fed up with Bush as everyone else), I have been following the elections in America very closely. By now I, like I'm guessing everyone back home, am sick to death of it. Luckily I have the ability to turn off the coverage whenever I feel like it- I can't even imagine how smothering it must be back home. London's Postmodern Mayoral Election. I read today that Boris won. They're Watch...

Or the dozens of heartbreakingly small tombstones for babies, sometimes half a dozen in one family plot. These small monuments are sometimes all that is left to ...The o...

Exploring the Unreal City: Fog is boring
http://exploringtheunrealcity.blogspot.com/2008/01/fog-is-boring.html
Exploring the Unreal City. London in life and literature. Sunday, January 06, 2008. Nobody dare say I didn't try. I tackled Bleak House with all the enthusiasm I could muster for a thousand page Victorian novel with Bleak in the title. I mean, it's Dickens, it has to be great right? Last year I fell in love with Great Expectations- I'm almost certain I passed that Victorian Lit class on sheer enthusiasm for Pip, Estelle, Miss Havisham. I hadn't bargained for passages like these:. But at the same time, it...

Exploring the Unreal City: Land of 1000 Castles
http://exploringtheunrealcity.blogspot.com/2008/04/land-of-1000-castles.html
Exploring the Unreal City. London in life and literature. Tuesday, May 06, 2008. Land of 1000 Castles. Imagine the most impossibly green rolling hills of farmland patchworked with vibrant yellow mustard fields and dotted with fluffy white sheep. It's springtime so little baby lambs gambol through the grass, under a blue canopy of sky. Now add in a crumbling castle or abbey and that's pretty much the standard view I could see in any direction while driving through Wales last weekend. It was quite a shock ...
