1 December 2017: "It's like she knows she wants something, thinks it might be him, but then realizes it isn't, so she's still looking." --an ENGL 204 student responding to Jhumpa Lahiri's "Sexy."
I almost dropped this story when I was writing the syllabus for this semester. I love it, but sometimes it just doesn't work as well as I want it to in a 204 class, as I blogged about here at this point last semester. But yesterday was the best it's ever gone teaching that story. The students were so smart and sensitive about it. What a treat that discussion was.
