2004 Emily Enters the Annals of Anthropophagia An alert Chesleyan enthusiast doing post-doc research at the University of Transgänder, (in the little-known wine region of north-west Norway) recently came upon an interesting lectures series being offered by the Women's Studies Department. The description alone was enough to ensure his attendance at the opening lecture: Eating the Other: Our correspondent was surprised to discover the lecture hall was filled to capacity, but alas he did not know that the renowned Doctor Filacia Grinditdøtïr was running the series of lectures. Her opening salvo was enough to get the entire audience muttering and shifting in their seats uncomfortably; then the lecture took an even darker tone. Our enthusiast did not have a tape recorder with him, but was able to obtain the following transcript from court documents:
Though the Norwegian authorities were called, there was no statute that banned Doctor Grinditdøtïr from reading the Chesleyan passage aloud; however, several students [and a number of Grinditdøtïr's colleagues] did complain to the university rector. Rector Brüsenbut Müdflapsen told Doctor Grinditdøtïr to remove Emily's speculative novel from the curriculum. It was removed, but she successfully appealed Müdflapsen's decision to Det Norske Universitetsråd [the Norwegian Council of Universities] and Chesleyans will be pleased to note that one of Emily's books has secured a place in the annals of anthropophagia. --"Scholarship" by The Squire |
