I have mis-remembered this. I can’t find this in the book again. I thought that in John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany there was a passage where Owen tells the narrator to be an English teacher. Owen goes on to say that it’s the easiest job in the world because all you have to do is notice things, and the author has already done that for you.
Can’t find that. It does sound like the kind of thing Owen Meany would say, doesn’t it?
