To begin with, the official... «Scale»
To begin with, the official disputed
the idea that I could possibly be living in
this pocket-sized dwelling, but I
managed to convince him that I was a
doctoral student writing a thesis on ‘The
Apprehension of Scale in Gulliver’s
Travels, with special reference to
Lilliput’, and that the operators of the
model village had leased the house to
me so that I could gain first-hand
experience of Gulliver’s state of mind. I
even entered the house and adopted
some attitudes—head on the kitchen
table, left leg rammed through the french
windows—in order to persuade him.
