  seeing differently last night i lectured at the university. my lecture focused on a short story called "cathedral" by raymond carver.
the point of my lecture was that it is important to be able to see things differently, to have, as it were, a second look at things...a look more focused, perhaps, and perhaps even slightly askew from the first glance.
so, today i am offering a very short list of readings that, in my opinion, suggest to the reader that it is important to look at familiar, ordinary, or even difficult situations and topics differently, with a new eye. "cathedral" - raymond carver the lives of animals - j.m. coetzee "a very old man with enormous wings" - gabriel garcia marquez the truth in painting - jacques derrida (not particularly focused on this topic, but akin to it, perhaps) on randomness somehow urlLink HER blog is getting out of control.
