I thought this essay was funny and touching when I wrote it.
I still think so.
True, you have to wade through a bit of learned discourse, but as the echoing gravitas of academe is punctured halfway through with an off-stage callout, that's about as close as you can get to a pie in the face of pomposity.
The punchline is there.
You just have to read through to get to it.

ReplyDeleteIt is funny.

Thanks, Linda. I've decided to take what comfort I can from the EU contest, and that begins with reminding myself why I liked the essay in the first place.
