Who else knows of this blog, and what does everyone think of it?
Professors
Starting last year, I have e-mailed more than a hundred professors of literature, inviting them to visit this blog and discuss its issues. These professors include scholars of specific novelists I have discussed (e.g., Charles Dickens and Mark Twain), authors of books on literary theory, members of the editorial boards of some scholarly journals, and some faculty members of creative writing programs.
Readers and Students
The second group of people who know about this blog are readers and students who are interested in a particular novelist. For example, since I discussed Joseph Conrad’s “The Secret Sharer,” I have had visitors from Malaysia. Various other posts about other novelists have brought visitors from many countries. In short, there are readers from around the world who have heard of Multiple Identity Literary Theory.
Writers
Contemporary writers I have mentioned in the blog are probably aware of it, either from fans’ questions or from their own monitoring of how they are mentioned on the internet. Aspiring writers may have come upon this blog in connection with the various subjects discussed. And, of course, many of the professors mentioned above are writers, know other writers, and teach writing. So there is some awareness of Multiple Identity Literary Theory in various branches of the writing community.
Multiple Personality or Creativity
Other likely visitors to this blog are people with an interest in multiple personality or creativity.
Neither believed nor disproved
Most people don’t change their mind about something unless and until some thought leader whom they respect declares it a breakthrough or a paradigm shift. Since this has not happened yet for Multiple Identity Literary Theory, people can’t, and don’t, believe it. Even though they haven’t found serious fault with its facts or argument.
