The Impact of Universities on Writers
This chapter explores Flannery O'Connor's perspective on universities and their impact on writers. It discusses the idea that universities don't stifle writers enough and that the kind of writing that can be taught is often the kind that needs to be unlearned. The conversation also touches on the influence of literary mentors and the risk of studying literature in an institutional setting.
