Like a proud mother otter, pictured in center, I am proud of my baby--which in this case is my debut novel, TOO MUCH HEAVEN, pictured held by the otter as if it were her very own. In the left corner, Colin Jost peeks in and says that's adorable.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Haha, this is exactly right, again from Elizabeth McCracken: “If you’re not afraid of failing as a writer, it means you haven't risked enough. Or you might be a sociopath. There are some good writers who are sociopaths.”

What can't be erased or taken away from artists and intellectuals (even as we're being attacked by this administration): curiosity, idealism, hope, passion for what we do. That's the unspoken agenda of all this disruption. To stop intellectual life. Don't stop. Just don't.

It was my pleasure to chat with Rus about his satirical novel set at the fictional Coors State University, where history professors work concession stands and the English department is banished to tents. It’s all there in his novel about the overemphasis of sports on college campuses.
