Some of the most important writers of the twentieth century, including Borges, Cortázar, Rulfo, and García Márquez, have explored ambiguous sites of a disquieting nature.

Theory of Mind is what enables us to «put ourselves in another's shoes.» It is mindreading, empathy, creative imagination of another's perspective: in short, it is simultaneously a highly sophisticated ability and a very basic necessity for human communication. Theory of Mind is central to such commercial endeavors as market research and product development, but it is also just as important in maintaining human relations over a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, it is a critical tool in...

Die titel van Gibson se vyfde bundel verwys na die Vrystaatse ruimte waarin die digter grootgeword het en steeds woon, maar dit dui ook op die ontglippende aard van betekenis, selfs te midde van die alledaagse ervaring van die gesinslewe, die spreker se lewe as mediese dokter en sy jeugherinneringe. Soos in Gibson se vorige bundels is daar gedigte wat intense intellektuele betrokkenheid eis voor dit die leser ryklik beloon, maar daar is ook heelwat gedigte wat onmiddellik tref, en liefdesgedigte...
