z is for awesome

so proud! last week, one of my lit professors at cola coll, Dr. Zubizaretta (or Dr. Z), was named prof of the year by the carnegie foundation. my favorite class w/him was a southern short story course. he dedicated plenty of time to flannery o'connor. he loves her. he brought her grotesque characters to (even greater) life. he had a good understanding of o'connor's religious background & beliefs. and he seemed to really enjoy the bizarre, disturbing twists at the end of her stories. the more unhinged the characters became, the more he seemed to like it. it was fun to read things through his eyes! learn more about him & the recent award here:
