I'm Asha and this is my first time writing a blog. My favorite authors are Georges Bataille, Murakami and Jorge Luis Borges. I really enjoy Bataille for his ability to be shocking while challenging the reader to consider his controversial ideas in a serious manner. I find Murakami's erratic style appealing, for his ability to keep me interested. Also, his writing is somehow beautiful even when he is expressing or depicting unsettling ideas. Lastly, I really enjoy the beauty of Borges dreamlike writing. If their unique styles were combined, the end result would be shocking yet beautiful and informed yet surreal. I really love writing and hope to improve both stylistically and technically through this course. I would also like to become a more aware reader.
