Lawrence is a final-year student majoring in English studies. He loves Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, Ernest Hemingway and many other British writers. His like of classics has left him the dislike of the post-modernity. And for the sake of addiction in epigrams, it makes him possible to read books that are devoid of aphorisms. For the sake of epigrams, words seem to be exhausted in other forms. Lawrence is also a fan of Japanese animation. He has studied Japanese for three years. He is both satisfied and disappointed that animation, as a form of art, attracts few, or no, formal criticism.
