On 'The Phantom Tollbooth,' or, The Democratizing Principle of Literature
As someone who deserted the Comp. Lit. field many years ago, and who has two young girls at home, I absolutely agree with this approach. My job is to facilitate their exposure to all kinds of books, whether they are written by white men from Brooklyn, Dominican immigrants, young Nigerian females, librarians from Maryland or dead French aviators, with no further agenda than giving them a taste of pluralism. Let them figure things out on their own. But make sure there is diversity in what they read.
