The Orange Prize & Ruth Fowler

Yikes. I read this article over a week ago and forgot to post it until now. Talk about harsh.

"I'd rather pluck my own pubic hairs than read this fawning idiocy written by fools..."

Ruth Fowler is not too keen on MFA Creative Writing programs, nor the "bland" writers who graduate from them.

"The Creative Writing MFA is the singularly most devastating occurrence to hit literature in the 20th century, churning out writers of utterly indistinguishable competence."

Just read it. It's short. Your jaw will drop.
