Please Read This

Please read this funny and knowledgeable essay on the essay, written by one of my favorite authors: British literary critic Terry Eagleton. I just came across it myself.

  1. I read the short bio of him. He sounds like a bit of a sensational show off. Yet he is a leading figure in the literary world for a reason. I have printed off the essay and will read it sometime today.

  2. When I took a class with him, he was very approachable. A good listener. Not at all pushy. I went to see him frequently during his office hours, but didn't see him outside of the school setting. I like the fact that he uses his talents in the service of noble causes.
