Pynchon on the Silly Bus

[Erik T. Burns]

Pynchon (The Crying of Lot 49) was on the syllabus where I went to college.
Also Nabokov's Pale Fire, Morrison's The Bluest Eye ... Lots of good stuff.
Great teacher.

It was 1986.

it wasn't this: http://oyc.yale.edu/english/engl-291#sessions

but near enough.

though I didn't go to Yale.
