Did Kirn actually receive a BA in English from Oxford? I read his book Lost in the Meritocracy and the interview referred to in the footnote and my impression was that he just spent some time there without taking a degree.

I agree. He ultimately completed his degree at Princeton and spent some time in Oxford as a merit scholar if I remember correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nutshelled (talk • contribs) 06:57, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
