Does it not strike you as somewhat narcissistic to assume that, because an article isn't valuable to someone in your exact position, it isn't valuable at all?

You comment reminds me of something I read recently in a novel by Ian McEwan, in which a character talks about the sort of novels she would like to read:

> "I suppose I would not have been satisfied until I had in my hands a novel about a girl in a Camden bedsit who occupied a lowly position in MI5 and was without a man."

The character is, of course, "a girl in a Camden bedsit who occupied a lowly position in MI5 and was without a man".




Not that other novels are/can be interesting as well, but I would find it fascinating to read a novel about myself.


Maybe you should write a book. It would be about yourself, no matter what.
