Where are we?<br /><br />The book:<br />Vietnam and homosexuality chapters still need surgery.<br />Epilogue needs completion.<br />New Wave chapter needs a sentence on Ballard, Children's stuff on <i>Pete's Dragon</i><br />Bibliography!<br /><br /><br />Meanwhile I've given papers on <i>Survivors</i> (twice) and Bernard Herrmann (outside of comfort zone, much?) and need to work up proposals for respective proceedings volumes.<br /><br />Need to do some prep to teach a film session. May just wing it at this rate.<br /><br />Read and examined a PhD.<br /><br />Meanwhile, there is much in the pipeline still"<br /><br />"Postmodernism, Postmodernity and the Postmodern: Telling Local Stories at the End of Time" has appeared in <i>Teaching Science Fiction</i>, but no sign of a copy yet.<br /><br />"Psychoanalysis and the Fantastic" is presumably in press somewhere.<br /><br />"<i>The Man Who Fell To Earth</i>: The Messiah and the Amphicatastrophe" and "Unimportant Failures: The Fall and Rise of <i>The Man Who Fell to Earth</i>" had final versions.<br /><br />"If None of this is Real, How Should We Treat Other People?" needs a final revision before publisher intervention for <i>Philip K. Dick and Philosophy</i>.<br /><br />And I'm editing and writing things on sf adaptation for a project that never seems to die.<br /><br />No idea why I feel overworked.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=faustus&ditemid=385966" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://faustus.dreamwidth.org/385966.html research that seventies thing publishing state of the dr a busy public 0 https://faustus.dreamwidth.org/284535.html Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:50:57 GMT https://faustus.dreamwidth.org/284535.html Spent part of this evening listing my research accomplishments for this last academic year - remind me why I am feeling drained and exhausted?
