Rudimentary White

It’s true, and anyone who makes thinking his priority may well go far as a thinker, but when all’s said and done he has just mistaken water for dry land, and one of these days he’ll drown.
—Hermann Hesse

Professor White is an eminent narratologist. He dislikes storytellers and thinkers because he loves stories and thinking, which he believes are rarely done well, and naturally so. His free time is spent on coffee and a dating app designed to help his therapist with her speed dating addiction.
