Alan Moore, author of V for Vendetta and The Watchmen, talks here about, amongst other things, a real education. You know, one that’s actually driven by the learner. Worth a quick read, and also worth reconsidering comics (graphic novels, if you prefer) as a valid form of literature if you’d written them off as unworthy of your time – or that of your children. Anarchy, fascism, moral ambiguity... Get stuck in!
Thanks to Clay Burrell for flagging it up here.
