A lot of English profs feel that
Ulysses and
Finnegan are the crowning works of literature. I've met only a few who dared challenge him; one said that he defines Modernism as "Being only understood by a select cadre of like-minded individuals who enjoy scoffing at the uneducated masses who can't comprehend your work," but she wasn't popular and seemed to only be holding on because she was tenured.
I suppose it should've been no surprise that the Creative Writing department was incredibly biased against all other literary movements. One of the profs there refused to acknowledge that Postmodernism even existed, and taught like "modern" and "Modernist" were the same thing. He was a great enforcer of the non-existent conventions of Modernist literature.
And to whoever said that with making 8k I should have other things than writing on my mind, I do. Chief among them is the medical condition that limits me to a 3-day work week.
