I think in his book he mentions reading Foucault to impress a socialist girl in college or something like that
Edit : “He describes reading Marx and Marcuse to try and attract a "long-legged socialist," Fanon and Gwendolyn Brooks to attract a "smooth-skinned sociology major," and Foucault and Woolf for "the ethereal bisexual who wore mostly black."”
I have a friend there who is pretty progressive but his whole take on working there is just get the bag then go somewhere less evil
