MikeWaters is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Reading "No Man Knows My History"

as a psycho-autobiography of Brodie.

If Joseph Smith wrote the BoM as a reflection on his own circumstance and family, perhaps it is fair and appropriate to approach Brodie's biography as a reflection of her own circumstance and family.

And then write a book about it. A psychobiography of a psychobiography. Surely this has been done before, right?

I'm a genius, I tell you, a genius.

I'm reading MikeWaters' analysis of Brodie's psycho-autobiography as a psycho-autobiography of MikeWaters.

If Brodie wrote NMKMH as a reflection of her own circumstance and family, perhaps I'm not too far off in doing the same to Waters.

A third-generation psychobiography.

It's far easier to narrow the scope than to come up with something new, I guess.

I'm reading - for about the 20th time - the classic Calvin and Hobbes: Something Under the Bed is Drooling.
