Ahhh, self taught then?
Well, let’s just say that I picked my professors and read a lot on my own.
That was possible back then. There were still some great teachers there.
Now, I look at the English department, to take one example, and 19 out of 20 professors are jerks. The 20th is Helen Vendler, who has a blind thing against Christianity but otherwise is a brilliant reader of poetry.
Well, 19 out of 20 worthless tools. That ain’t good.
