I remember when this article came out--Fish's grammatical attack
struck me as pedantic and his call for composition teachers to teach
only rhtetoric and grammar struck me as dead wrong. However, I do
connect Stanley Fish to bananafish on a book of his essays called Is
There a Text in This Class. I'm going back to grad school reading but
I remember Fish talking about "interpretive communities" and that is
what I think we are in this bowl. will
