This is only funny if you know what my thesis topic is.

me: having a problem. i have this line, but i cant tell if i wrote it or its a quote

there are no quotation marks so i assumed its not a quote

"Capote claimed that this anonymity was a central element of his experiment in the nonfiction novel." i think someone else wrote that.

Peter: this dilemma is very indicative of your thesis itself

PS - David Guest wrote the line in his book Sentenced to Death: the American Novel and Capital Punishment.
