My thesis advisor and I share an obsession for eggplant that I will forever associate with my work for her class, which was--for better or for worse--a Lacanian reading of Stuart Little. I will also forever associate eggplant and our epic meal at Pasta Bene in Berkeley with her adorable dog Gracie, but considering the fact that most of the work I'm currently doing in children's literature stems from her very idiosyncratic class, I feel even more indebted to eggplant now (or at least my associations of it) than I did before I took her class.
