It was a pleasant read. It was a bit of an inside into the professional writers' mind (with a few different axes, of different genders and sexualities and some discussion of religion and immigrantness) from a place of vulnerability, so it was really about two panels' worth of people's mindsets.
As someone who tried and failed to be a humanities graduate student, it was comforting and enlightening to read their thought processes, to see the kinds of people who thrive or at least qualify for that kind of environment, and see what it gives you (in character, if not in monetary value) and to catch a little glimpse of how people ricochet off literary culture to work towards it as a vocation (and for myself, an immigrant whose family did not come from a literary or academic background, to see the kinds of things I had no awareness of and thus no foothold into that world even from an immigrant standpoint.
A good short read, a good window into the writer's world. ( )
