thority figures and providing ref
erence points for worlds beyond
the classroom, if not necessarily
the administration offices.
“I don’t care how many black
secretaries you have; I don’t care
how many black administrators
you have; I don’t care how many
you have in the personnel depart
ment, human resources or all that
other shit,” Bradley says. “The
main interaction at a university is
teacher-to-student, so I don’t care
if the administration is completely
white. If you have enough strange
looking people on your faculty,
then that educational message is
going to get through. ”
Bradley believes that his pres
ence this spring on campus is
valuable — and not just because
he’s one of those “strange-looking
people.” Students, he says, need
to get a break from their regular in
structors and hear a different take
on the same ol’, same ol’.
His most recent visiting jobs
were in 1998 at the City College of
the City University of New York
and in 1997 at the country’s first es
tablished college, Wilham & Mary
in Williamsburg, Va.
“You come into a place like [the
University], you’re not Professor
Anybody, you’re just some asshole
who needed a job,” Bradley says,
with a strong laugh that no doubt
could be heard echoing beyond his
temporary office in Columbia Hall.
“When you come in from the out
side, you can come in and say
‘Well, let’s face it, you didn’t come
here to get a degree, you came here
to learn how to be a writer. ’ ”
Bradley will likely shed light
on how to accomplish that goal
during tonight’s installment of the
Creative Writing Program’s Read
ing Series. Yet, if attendees are
lucky, he’ll also spin a few tales
because Bradley may be an ac
complished writer, but he’s also an
acute observer of today’s society.
“When I lived in Williamsburg,
that was one weird place,” he
says. “I would go to the laundro
mat and there would be people sit
ting around in their colonial garb,
they’re just stopping off on their
way to do their laundry.
“From where I lived, if I walked
out my door and turned left, I went
to the university; if I turned right, I
went to the 18th century. ”
And that’s probably a place that
Bradley never wants to visit.
