What It?s Like To Be James Franco?s Professor

When I was assigned to be James Franco?s adviser in the English department at Yale, I was not exactly sure what to think. I was not on the admissions committee that had enrolled him, and to be perfectly honest, I?d never read anything he?d written. (I had, of course, seen a few James Franco films, but who hasn?t?) I am also fairly new at Yale, and so was not sure what sort of ?advice? I could offer beyond, I guess, ?study hard, and good luck.? When he came to my office, he was already deep into classes on Romanticism, Walt Whitman, and modern American literature. He had also just received an Oscar nomination. James? personal assistant had called the day before to ask if I could meet in the afternoon, rather than the morning, since he had been invited onto the Colbert Report that day. I was flexible, and happy to accommodate, but remember feeling a little stunned at having to speak with one of my students in such a Hollywood manner?his people calling my people.
