Notes on a Thesis
<DIV><P>When Jeanne is accepted on to a PhD course, she is over the moon, brimming with excitement and grand plans—but is the world ready for her masterful analysis of labyrinth motifs in Kafka’s <I>The Trial? </I>At first Jeanne throws herself into research with great enthusiasm, but as time goes by, it becomes clear that things aren’t quite going according to plan. <I>Notes on a Thesis</I> is a reminder of the strangeness of academia, of every awful essay, every disastrous exam, and every insanity-inducing dissertation. If you’ve ever stared gloomily at a blank page, battled with office administrators or driven yourself (and everyone you know) mad by droning on about your work, then <I>Notes on a Thesis</I> will make you laugh (or cry) in recognition.</P></DIV><BR />
