Durkee remembers being in an English class with Morrison while studying James Joyce's Ulysses. "Even the teacher was learning from Morrison's interpretationn of the work." Durkee said, "We all were ... He was sort of an intellectual leader." However, Durkee said, "Nobody really understood Morrison (as a person). He was detached, creative ... Few, if any, people in our class were really close to him."

Patricia Madison, who was also in classes with Morrison, described him as hyper, high IQ and weird. She recalls a time in Spanish class when he wrote, "We all eat small dogs" on the blackboard as a sentence to be translated. Madison also remembers an incident when Morrison brought a rotting fish with him on the bus without air conditioning during a hot summer day to elicit a crowd reaction from the other passengers (which of course, he did.) "Morrison would do things we didn't dare do," Madison remarked. She said once Morrison urinated in his locker, because he didn't feel like using the restroom.

well, /lit/? was he a pseud?

High iq and unique reader is the opposite of pseud

>>8603327
having a high iq and reading in a funny way is non-pseud? if that's the case, then it was a lower bar than i thought.

i guess being a unique locker pisser will help me understand joyce finally, and i'll be able to walk into college and teach my professor all about the ineluctable and the blind stripling's counter synesthesia with deaf pat, and the secret chapter no one seems to talk about.

He was on drugs you fucking idiot.

imwas in drugs when i read ulysses, does that make me special? no. hell i read about a quarter of it on shrooms.

besides, that's hardly breaking the mold of pseuditity. typical women though, remembering that the teacher learned, but not taking it into her whimsical head to write down a few of his quotes, to really emphasize his joycean mastery.

I've read pic related, he was pretty patrician. His youth was pretty much entirely reading. Then he got into whisky and screaming nigger.
