Schopenhauer is seeped in these pages. Schopenhauer is a jumping off place – a place to stand, to go backwards in time, forward, to expand beyond Schopenhauer. I hope others will contribute to the Log. The Log begins with an extensive look at Beckett’s prose works, but will expand to consider works by Machado de Assis, Simone Weil, Schopenhauer proper, and others literary, philosophical, religious. Why call it Schopenhauer Log? — this is a long term project, what it seems may turn into something else.
Author
Pamela Dickson. I have spent more than ten years reading and re-reading Schopenhauer. I am currently at work on a body of work by an inner-I, a hybrid novel that follows a collection of hybrid pieces, Divine Comedies, one of which was published in Catamaran Literary Reader, and a hybrid novel/meditation, One Way – an I is Born, which was my thesis for an MFA at Sewanee, The University of the South (2017). My first novel, City of Cats (Four Watt Press 2016), published under the pseudonym Max Diksztejn, was a semi-finalist in the Faulkner Wisdom Novel Competition. An excerpt of City of Cats was published in American Atheist Magazine (2016). I’ve attended the Sewanee Writers’ Conference, the Tin House Writer’s Workshop, Summer Literary Seminars (virtual) Master Course in Fiction, and other conferences. I am a former international tax attorney.
