I don’t want to say it, but that article is a bit difficult. I tend to think that poor readers are poor thinkers, so they will glaze over while reading literary jargon and understand nothing. They may read a Solzhenitsyn short story and gain a little something, but I doubt it will be the anthology editor’s intent or message that they will gain.
True. But I figured it was worth noting in a book blog, and those who find it boring will just click away.
How meaningful are those English professors anyway? Does anybody listen to them, other than other English professors and their grad students?
Worth-noting it is, and thank you. I didn’t mean to suggest it isn’t or that the article’s conclusion isn’t true either. But I’m starting to respond to viewpoints which seem more reactionary than thoughtful.
On Ori’s point, I think the only influence those profs have is when their worldview trickles down to others, and I doubt it usually trickles far at all.
