You can__ learn to write in college. It__ a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do__nd they don__. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don__ want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who__ the bore of all time. A lot of the people whose work they__e taught in the schools for the last thirty years, I can__ understand why people read them and why they are taught. The library, on the other hand, has no biases. The information is all there for you to interpret. You don__ have someone telling you what to think. You discover it for yourself.
