2006-05-08 07:41:38 He teaches comparative literature 5 (Fairy Tales, Fables, and Parables.) He brings instruments to class to play sometimes, while he tells stories and jokes all the time. The class was really a lot of fun. I took it over a year ago, but he taught it again this year the same way I heard. —ES
