It is ideal.
That depends on how old is he.
Maybe he is so old he dosent give a shit about literature anymore and just want the $$$

I assume he's heard of Joyce, but has he heard of Pynchon? Just making sure.

'''Sir, what do you think of Big Dave?''
That's like a physics professor who hasn't heard of Einstein.

>being this deluded
>>7687843
Joyce is the Einstein of lit
>>7686467
Pynchon is shit and should not be studied at university. Steven King is more profound

More like Stephen Hawking

I call bullshit. There's no way your English professor doesn't know who David Foster Wallace is. He was the most talented writer of his generation, and also the most tortured. He was like a comet flying by at ground level. It's rare that a writer is so inventive that when he dies the language is impoverished. Sorry, but I can't take this seriously.
>>7687850
Demonstrably false.
>>7687923
go ahead, demonstrate it
Yeah, I'm pretty sure even my highschool english teacher was all over DFW. She was unusually cool though.
Even the janitor at my primary school carried a copy of Infinite Jest in his back pocket.
>>7686718
kek
>>7686379
He probably doesn't want to discuss pleb fiction with you.
>>7687918

Your greenish construction fails to make grammatical sense. Maybe you could try reading a little bit more. Allow me to recommend: Infinite Jest, by one David Foster Wallace.
>>7690658
You should work on reading comprehension if you think that post didn't make grammatical sense. Try reading more. May I recommend "The Cat in the Hat"?
