What a timely and perfect environment in which to write The Reluctant Suicide. And research Thoreau as well. It's fiction but almost feels like journalism. It's also embodies sublimation and creative distraction.

Hurricane Sandy as Greek Tragedy | Common Dreams
Hurricane Sandy as Greek Tragedy | Common Dreams:
"Sandy is short for Cassandra, the Greek mythological figure who epitomizes tragedy. The gods gave Cassandra the gift of prophecy; depending on which version of the story one prefers, she could either see or smell the future. But with this gift also came a curse: Cassandra’s warnings about future disasters were fated to be ignored. That is the essence of this tragedy: to know that a given course of action will lead to disaster but to pursue it nevertheless."
What a timely and perfect environment in which to write The Reluctant Suicide. And research Thoreau as well. It's fiction but almost feels like journalism. It's also embodies sublimation and creative distraction.
