John Silber and Immortality
Today is a day for John Silbers detractors to put their pens down. John Silber is dead, and he was a great man in the sense of how human beings long were measuredby their accomplishments. In many ways he was the exact opposite of the famously self-referential Milan Kundera, whose own thinking was summed up nicely in his novel Immortality: While hypnotic, that obsession with self-reference is a recipe for hyper-sensitivity, resentments, and all-too-much navel-gazing, the kind that we require of our students all too often as they learn to write.
