"Precisely when the students think they're really writing about 'what happened to them.' that's when they are most in the grip of literary clichés and stereotypes. What excited them to write about an incident in the first place was that the reality was already so close to the cliché: that's what made it seem such good story material." --Samu*l R D*lany, in: Across th* Wound*d Galaxi*s, L McCaff*ry (1990)
