Trevor BurrowsIn a gesture of procrastination, I grabbed this book of Jonathan Z Smith interviews off the shelf and started reading. I have owned it for a while but never read it - and the first interview (from UChicago's newspaper in 2008) has me over here absolutely rolling on the floor w/laughter.
From the editorial intro to "The Devil in Mr. Smith" (2012):
"The discussion presents vivid glimpses into Jonathan Z. Smith's teaching practice and his teaching persona, including the time a student brought a minister to class to do an exorcism because she thought Smith was the Devil."
