And a question back to you ... where does the 'literature does not exist' thing come from?

catholic & marxist-- he must be jesuit. i didnt know.

like many lit students, i had to read this crap (in 2 different classes)

 

is it there, in "what is literature" that he argues oh, how do i remember this, that literature is nothing but a social construct that privileges certain texts over others through a series of institutions bla bla blah? im a bit rusty but my recollection mechanisms are still functioning.
