Its pretty amazing to hear Dr west talking so knowledgeably on literary matters. I saw a pretty impressive list of books he thought were 'great reads' on his twitter too. I was impressed with gravity's rainbow being on their in particular
@iamnobody2 Indeed, it is what it means to be a well-rounded analytic and critical rational thinker. How many can say that, who consider themselves scholars of the "ivory-tower canon of literature"? If one is about being totally human and understanding the human condition, one must read a variety of texts which are the experiences of different cultures, classes et. al. So, no need to be impressed by Bro. West, he's serious about what he is talking about and has educated himself accordingly.
This interview is so much better than the Fran Lebowitz interview. Dr. West nails it. Gotta love a man who loves Jane Austen.

"She has a diverse corpus and I'd like to devour every word of it." God, that was great. This whole interview is great.

"what it means to be human-
to be featherless, two-legged, linguistically conscious creatures
born between urine and feces
whose bodies will one day be the culinary delight of terrestrial worms.."
