Priest of the Eternal Imagination
Oh, sure. You didn’t ask for it, but here it is: my Master’s thesis on Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Stephen Hero.
I spent at least six months researching, writing, and refining this piece during my year in the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities at the University of Chicago. I don’t think I’ve read it once since turning it in–but I invite you to.
Think of it less as my last attempt to be an academic, and more as my first attempt to make an artistic statement about writing within the strictures of academia. I no longer harbor any fantasies of being an academic, but I am still proud that my advisor and former employer Wayne Booth liked it.
Read “The Priest of the Eternal Imagination: Joyce, Dedalus, and Epiphany” now.
