My favorite part of the essay is the use of the word "gynocritical".

"Rosenblatt is considering taking a leave of absence from his graduate studies to spend several months living in his mother's basement in Elmira, NY."

This is my favorite part. I am also somewhat ashamed to admit I looked up "logocentrism" today (after looking up the history of "phallogocentrism").

No wonder grad school is free. Who in their right mind would pay money to do this for seven years?

Thursday's class on Monolingualism of the Other seems like forever ago, but I cannot get Sina's voice saying "Derridean" out of my head.
