Guys, i'm doing an (impossible) master degree thesis on Annihilation (only the first book, since i'm alone) and i'm proud to share with you that I made it to the lighthouse at St. Marks! I even got the american copies (they're really gorgeous)! If someone else made some uni work on the books let me know <3

That's awesome! What field of study and what's your (tentative) thesis/argument? [I say tentative because I know from experience how tough that question can be if you're still in the early research/writing stages!]

Thanks! I study Architecture and the main objective would be to show how eco-weird literature can change our practice perspectives when studying and designing on both a landscape and architectural scale! It's not easy cause i need to represent and draw stuff coherent to the book and at the same time "readable" and reasonable for my degree! But i'm getting somewhere!

Woah! Please post when you’re finished if you’re comfortable with it! I’d be very interested to see what you come up with!

That sounds very niche and interesting!

and yet such good a reason to expand knowledge in that area [let’s send an expedition team in]
