About
I am Mark Sample, a professor of Contemporary American Literature and New Media Studies in the English Department at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia. And this is my blog. I write about whatever interests me and maybe some of these things interest you too: comic books, terrorism, literature, suburbia, concerts, and a range of other eclectic topics.
I’ve tried to colonize the Internet with the identity samplereality, and so you can also find me in these places:
I think I have a MySpace page too, but so does everybody else. I also have a house in real life. And a wife. And kids. And two cast iron skillets handed down in my family for generations. If we had a burglar in the house, one of these skillets would be the first thing I reached for.
