Bedtime story


Personally I prefer "Sneetches" or "The Giant Jam Sandwich," but the boys insist on the disjointed narrative peregrinations of this volume of the Compson family saga. They never tire of hearing about Caddie, Dilsey, Quentin, Varsh, Roskus, and of course, the boys' favorite, the imbecilic manchild Benjy.

I sent this to all the English professors at the college. They all agreed that my lineage was good.

I sent it to all of the Math professors. They were appalled at your neglectful parenting.

I sent it to all of the Sociology professors. They got together in groups and discussed the significance of your choice of a "Southern" work versus something more "American" like Dos Passos, or Fitzgerald. Much less something more "Worldly," like Bulgakov or Camus.

I sent it to the Dean and he said he wasn't sure how much longer they would let me stay.

I was talking to a friend about _The Magus_ the other day and realized that you still have mine.

How did (do) you like it?

Is it not mindblowing?
