Gogol

>In 1834 Gogol was made Professor of Medieval History at theUniversity of St. Petersburg, a job for which he had no qualifications. He turned in a performance ludicrous enough to warrant satiric treatment in one of his own stories. After an introductory lecture made up of brilliant generalizations which the 'historian' had prudently prepared and memorized, he gave up all pretense at erudition and teaching, missed two lectures out of three, and when he did appear, muttered unintelligibly through his teeth. At the final examination, he sat in utter silence with a black handkerchief wrapped around his head, simulating a toothache, while another professor interrogated the students."[22]This academic venture proved a failure and he resigned his chair in 1835.

I came here to write this. He's given me the strangest, most bewildering and sometimes downright unrecognizable feels I've ever had.

Plus the way some of his work rides the line between avant garde and very accessible is simply inspirational.

Dunno what you're talking about famalam, his Oblivion-era OOG texts are all great. Skyrim's Seven Fights of the Aldudagga makes subtle reference to oooold Pocket Guide to the Empire stuff like Haymon Hart-King, and the Loveletter and Cyrus works kept people entertained for years as new games came out and the study of the cosmology grew. I love his work, and Vivec especially is in part a writer's class.

C0DA, however, was... not good. Its cleverness was spent in open-sourcing TES, and that seemed like a blow at Bethesda. The story suffered for it. MK's still my boy though.
