School Quotes by Garth Greenwell

Garth Greenwell

I felt a lot of ambivalence about going back to graduate school for a second MFA. The impulse was really the opposite from what it had been more than a decade before: I wanted to interrupt a career.

I went back to graduate school because I wanted to avoid being a professional, to try to piece together a life that would let me avoid the tenure race and full-time teaching.

If my novel gets any attention in Bulgaria, it will be as a scandal: a book about a teacher at a famous school and his relationship with a prostitute. I doubt very much it will be evaluated on its merits as literature. If Bulgarian were the book’s only language, that would be painful and limiting to me as a writer. Since my book also exists in English – where it isn’t scandalous at all – I feel comfortable with the possibility of scandal.
