...bits he liked from both VES and English and strike out on his own. The result, under the guidance of Bernbaum Professor of Literature Leo Damrosch, was a creative thesis titled “’If Answerable Style I Can Obtain...’: An Analysis and Account of Illustrating Paradise Lost” — a film noir-style graphic rethinking of John Milton’s classic poem, which won Chiang a summa cum laude reading and a Hoopes Prize. Damrosch remembers Chiang as one of his all-time favorite students because...
