My university is encouraging me to use ChatGPT for my research, and I'm so glad I did. Otherwise I never would have known about @carolinelevine.bsky.social's 2004 article, "Victorian Plots and the Twentieth Century Novel: The Case of Kazuo Ishiguro"! Sounds fascinating! How could I have missed it?

We find reassurance where we can. They say the English major is dying and no one reads anymore, but some one left a beat-up copy of MCTEAGUE on the "free books" shelf in my department this morning and it's already gone.
