Strangers to Ourselves.
Abstract
Judith Thompson’s gift is to enter into the mind, soul and bod y of her characters: she has said th at she ge ts “into their blood” (Knowles 7). Her cha racters are at the extreme edges of wha t most peop le can comprehend:Theresa the retard ed dou ghnut junkie; Mercy, whose lonelin ess is infinite; Joanne, face to face with her own death; Scarl ett , wh o breathes life int o that deadly phrase, ’di fferently abled’, Carl, the racist skinhead. Terence said “No thing human is alien to me”, and so might Judith Thompson. But she does not make the stranger familia r; she does not expla in or account for her cha rac ters. They are. She does not allow us to assimilate them, translate their ex-eentricity into terms we understand. Nor does she allow us to set them apart from us, hold them at a safe distance, treat them as Other-than-us.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
