Today the New Yorker published the results of last week's Questioningly: what's the worst job in literature?
The answers (found on twitter at #tnyquestion) are hysterical, ranging from Hamlet's motivation coach to McMurphy's post-lobotomy roommate to Hester Prynne's stylist. Some of my favorites:
Noah's Ark vet
Gatsby's pool cleaner
Oedipus' shrink
Bilbo Baggins' pedicurist
I just love the winner: Narcissus' girlfriend. No more calls-- we have a winner.
I wonder if my students can come up with any...
