Arfin rumey biography of william

One of the most widely shared anecdotes about Joseph Heller, the author of Catch-22, highlights his wit and ability to poke fun at himself. At a party in the Hamptons, a friend of his remarked, “Joe, you know, this hedge fund manager makes more money in a single day than Catch-22 has made in its entire history.”

Heller, without missing a beat, replied, “That may be true, but I have something he will never have.”

His friend asked, “What’s that?”

Heller grinned and said, “Enough.”

This story perfectly captures Heller’s sharp humor and his satisfaction with his literary legacy, proving that for him, success wasn’t just about financial wealth, but about creating something enduring and meaningful.

This widely circulated anecdote about Joseph Heller is often attributed to his fellow author Kurt Vonnegut, who recounted it in an essay published in The New Yorker in 2005. The piece, titled “The Most Beautiful House in the World,” reflects on wealth, satisfaction, and artistic achievement, using the story of Heller at the Hamptons party as an example. While the anecdote’s precise historical accuracy isn’t confirmed, it has become emblematic of Heller’s wit and perspective on success.

Seeing Red: American Indian (Mis)Representations

What do you picture when you hear the terms American Indian or Native American? Horses and tipis? Casinos and wealth? Kinship cultural traditions? This course will address histories and contemporary images and (mis)representations of Indians in a variety of media. Through films, photographs, comic books, advertising, and literature including works by prominent Native writers and scholars, the class will consider a range of issues including ethics, power, authenticity and identity, and the tension between self-representation and representation by non-Natives. Assignments will include informal journaling, op-ed articles, film review, and short research papers. Ample time will be devoted to in-class workshops in which students will review and edit each others’ drafts and to address questions about the writing process.

ANTHROPOLOGY 1133 SEM 101

Food and Globalization

Although we think of globalization as a new phenomenon, history gives us many examples over the last three millennia. This course will examine the ways that foods (with or without the people that produce them) have spread throughout the world. From the spread of wine and olive oil around the Mediterranean, to the Spice Trade in the Middle Ages, to the Colombian Exchange after Columbus’ voyages, foods have traveled to new venues and created new tastes, desires, and values. This course will examine the people and ideas that moved these foods. It will contrast these historical flows with the globalization of food today and the changing ways that people across the planet eat. Writing assignments will involve comparing a variety of themes and researching the journey of food products from farm to market.
