My name is Muire Agridoux. By way of formal introduction let me say a word about context, a.k.a. my epistemological grounding or put in a wildly less affected way—where I’m coming from, people. FeverInduced is a forum for my worldview, an anxiety-quashing laboratory, if you will. It is in no small part intended as an act of violence against Yelpers…a universe in which seemingly every toad is a writer who verbosely critiques décor and hors d’oeuvres. My blog is an acknowledgement to dear friends and enemies who have repeatedly told me to write a book, perhaps because I am too much to take in person.
At the heart of all my endeavors, I strive not necessarily for relevance (that tired pursuit of irrelevant academics everywhere) but to wildly amuse myself and perhaps you, for a moment. Out of respect for the reader, I heed Samuel Johnson’s advice that “what is written without effort is in general read without pleasure”. At the same time, to paraphrase another adage, dullness is a practiced art, so you can expect quick, uncensored observations and a sense of …um, levity to accompany all entries.
The blog should be read as an exercise in non-fictional fabrication. The depth of my superficiality is astounding and being highly trained in everything and nothing at all, I will cover some of my favorite monsters including, but not limited to: Culture, Love, The Developing World, GASTROporn, Over-Indulgence, If You Don’t Have a Sense of Humor It Must Be a Very Long Day and Whatever Comes to Mind.
