Guys, please help. My teacher is having us read Adichie. The prose is ashy and bland as fuck, and it's nothing but torture porn written by a vindictive nigerian woman blasting the west. The dude teaching the class studied at fucking Yale and I quoted Harold Bloom about 100 times to him and eventually he almost started crying, saying he believes in The Republic, he's a Humanist, and he is one of the top canonicists in the world. I haven't spoken to him since then but I asked him if I could read Montaigne, Blake, or Dante instead, because I have PTSD and it literally does trigger me. Please console or give me advice, my fellow ideology transcended Neoplatonist Hegelian Hindu philosopher lovers of literature.
