"Three Faces in the Mirror," philosophy and sex.
A few days ago I joined Technorati. This is a site that is meant to make it easier for blog readers to find what they would be interested in. It was not an easy endeavor, since Technorati severely tests the computer skills of its users. The last task was to provide a list of key words that would make searches possible.
Here I ran into another problem. "Three Faces in the Mirror," is a novel describing the love affair of a young university student with his philosophy professor. Since the instructor discusses philosophy on Public National Radio and ranges far and wide, and lots of key words, like Wittgenstein, are called for. His student, who has multiple personalities, is not only a budding philosopher, but also a very sexual being. Other terms are called for to do him credit. In the end, it is next to impossible to embed key words in a novel that does not focus on a very narrow subject. Also, one doesn't want to confuse researches. Aztecs play a major role in the novel but the book is not a learned treatise about them.
I wish I knew the answers!
