It started in 2005, 2009 was the peak, and 2015 the end.

 

We all know that I am not been posting a lot anymore. I just don't have the time, as I am busy with other stuff, but also because I don't really see much going on. But maybe that's because I am not as involved anymore. 

The Stuttering Brain started in 2005, with a healthy 100 posts per year, so one post every three days. That's a good average, because the readers expect a post soon and keep on coming back for more.

I peaked in 2009 with more than 200 posts per year, so two posts in three days.

Then it gradually decreased with 2013 hitting non-sustainable levels, i.e. too few posts for readers to wait for the next post.

The main reason is that from 2014 onwards I became more and more involved in national politics and in a society aimed at supporting our national languages, Lëtzebuergesch.

However, I will not close the blog and intend to post things I find interesting.

Myron Tuman's book on stuttering and being a son

Myron Tuman made me aware of his latest book. Maybe you are interested?

He describes his book as follows:

The Stuttering Son: A Literary Study of Boys and Their Fathers examines stuttering, a condition which overwhelmingly affects boys, in terms of the complex relationships a number of male authors have had with their fathers. Most of these writers, from Cotton Mather to John Updike, were themselves stutterers; for two others, Melville and Kafka, the focus shifts to how similar family tensions contributed to their interest in the related condition of anorexia. A final section looks at the patricidal impulse lurking behind much of this analysis, as evident in Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Nietzsche. By focusing on the issue of a boy’s emotional development, this book attempts to re-establish the value of a broadly psychological approach to understanding stuttering.
