this is pretty much the essence of any humanities phd program. at a certain point, you will realize that a surprising number of tenured professors are shockingly intellectually shallow.

I am realizing it now. None of them knew Pynchon, for example.

why would a literature professor need to know a YA author?

I said Pynchon!
not GreenJohn!

I want Pinecone to write a parody YA novel in which he has a character called GreenJohn who is just a giant fucking satire of John Green.

You should ask Daniel Pennac to do it. He once parodied Paul Loup Sulitzer and it was amazing and incredible.

>mfw John Green is Pynchon's apprentice and that's the irony

it's more the product of dividing the study of literature into different fields, categorized by identity. this is compounded by the lack of a general curriculum at most universities these days. i earned an undergrad degree concentrating in american lit without ever having read hawthorne or james in a course, for example.

He still hasn't posted the subject of his dissertation.
