I think that the circle should be made with dashes to convey the idea that only its INTERIOR contains points in the domain. Don't worry about the requirement that x < 2 because the limitations |x| < 1 and |y| < 1 (associated with the circle) already guarantee that the argument of the natural logarithm will be OK in every instance.
