Saramago, Yeats, Hemingway, and George Bernard Shaw all won the Nobel Prize without ever attending university. Perec was a genius and never did either.

Faulkner another Nobel laureate, flunked out of a mediocre state school with an acceptance rate of around 80%. So did Dreiser

>>8536861

In that case quite a decent chunk of greek/latin writers were former slaves who were freed and pumped out some of the most important works of their time.

Terence who almost every monk/student used to help study Latin even though he had "filthy' scenes had such clear concise language that they overlooked it. He was a slave as well.

>universities faces when they can't pump out more prestigious writers then slaves

What? If you know how to spell, and have enough knowledge about entertainment then you can write a book, even Donald Trump can write a book.

Writing isn't the same as being a physicist
