mutatismutandisSummary: A student’s-eye view of Xavier, post-X2.
“T.H. White,” I said. “He’s not like the others. He tells you the right names of things.”

“When Arthur turns into an ant, he turns into Messor barbarus. Most writers would just say he turned into an ant. They wouldn’t say what kind, not even to themselves. That’s the problem with fiction.”
