employment insurance won't pay the bills

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.11.13

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
