<p>Marc, your class sounds like a lot of fun. I hope your students
are appreciative.</p>
<p>I do not know that I could defensibly explain Fifth Head and I
have read it too many times to comfortably count.<br>

<div> I’m teaching again and this semester I had the chance to
teach world lit for science majors ... the course description
says from antiquity to the present so I figured I would push a
narrative of violence and competition as the motivator for
progress. Started with Hesiod and Gilgamesh, went through the
Iliad and the Aeneid, through the renaissance and
Enlightenment. Just got to the 20th century this week and taught
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns about the Manhattan Project - had
Oppenheimer’s granddaughter come in and talk to them today. The
next few weeks we are going through some of the modernists
before I totally screw them by making them explain Fifth Head of
Cerberus to me on the second to last day ... I have lectured the
whole semester save for a few poetry exercises for them ...
let’s see how it goes.
