This week, the contest is a little different. To celebrate the start of term and all the comps writing the seniors are doing, we thought it would be fun to see some of the work Carleton’s own English professors have done. Below is a list comprising the titles of five works written by Carleton English professors. Guess which professor wrote which work and email your guesses to werneri or workm by Friday, January 17 at 5pm. The winner will be selected at random from all the correct responders and will win either a t-shirt or one of Greg Smith’s novels. Congratulations to Wilson Josephson, winner of the last contest of the Fall term.
