Hello!

Welcome to Nowhereville, a place named for its lack of identity, structure, or any other feature one would find in a regular city. Not sure how I, or you for that matter, arrived here, but here we are.

My name is Caswell McCurry. I am the mayor of Nowhereville! Well, I’m the only permanent resident of Nowhereville… but that’s okay! In order to maintain clarity whilst alone, I use this space to document my thoughts and responses to the readings keeping me entertained.

Speaking of, it’s miraculous to have found myself alone, in such a quiet environment, with so much to read. If I believed in the idea of a Heaven, I’d be sure this was it!

(This is a website for writing journals in response to readings done for English 3460: Literature and Utopia. The introductory paragraph above is a play on Thomas More’s definition of utopia being “no place”, as well as Ursula K. Leguin’s concept of the path to a utopia is death.)
