User:Jafujafu

Hello! I'm Jafujafu, which is a reference to a particularly bizarre, mouse-like imaginary friend I invented as a child. This account was created back in some distant Dark Age for reasons that I can't quite recall, but none of that matters anymore. I decided to become more active in the fall of 2014 and hopefully I can stick with that resolution for longer than a week. My primary emphasis lies on literature, especially nineteenth-century fiction. I'm in something of a serious relationship with Henry James, but I also leave room for Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Charlotte Brontë, Shakespeare, Woolf, and all other sorts of wonderful writers. I also admit to liking Philip Roth, who alternately infuriates and captivates me, and I'd like to fill out content on the lovely Alice Munro, whose works are not covered nearly as well as they could and should be.

In that grim distant specter that I dub "reality," I study English Language and Literature as an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I'm a Chicagoan born, however, and I routinely pine for the comforts of Portillo's and decent pizza. In addition to my love of literature, I enjoy dabbling in Global Studies, History, opera, and twentieth-century Spanish poetry. Lastly, and most importantly, I am a great partisan of guinea pigs. They are the greatest animal, and I will brook no disagreement.
