It's really a great discovery for me. I used to think the placement of articles is extremely rigid. And I think if the omission of 'the', which is optional, strikes you that way, it should have the same effect on others. Maybe Mr. Bellow was by no means criticizing all literature professors, yet he might also want to tone down his criticism a little bit. Now I know more. Thank you!
