It's striking how many funny names are being hurled at me:
Fish, Derrida, Anderson, Atkins, Morrow, Johnson, Hartman,
Coleridge, Diderot, Barthes, Lewis, Eliot ....... God knows how
many others.
It's rather as if people were too nervous to walk round the block
without the company of a bunch of bigger, uglier thugs.
I should perhaps explain that I employ a system of marking
different from what some may be used to. Plainly worded personal
statements will gain high scores. Too many filtered through a fog
of citations will almost inevitably trigger failure.
