Topics of discussion:

  • Answering the double-bind essay question
  • Inadequate curricula, both real and fictional
  • Quebec History in Infinite Jest: Disentangling Fact from Fiction: A Brief Survey of Canadian Historical References in the Writings of David Foster Wallace
  • Wile E. Coyote as a model for direct action in the Quebec freedom struggle
