My Life in 64 of 250 (approx.) Words

I currently have 64 of the 250 words needed for my fellowship application. Thank goodness my dissertation title is so lengthy. Oh well, this is better than reading the article currently sitting on my desk about adapting Erofeev for the stage. I've read the first paragraph and the author's description of the original novel is another one of those Nobel jobs which feature words that should be attached to writers/works we like, but which ultimately tell us nothing. -Zh.
