My name is John Eilermann. I’m a comparative literature student based in St. Louis, Missouri. I’m inspired by the vastness of the field I’m in, and it gets me excited to acquire knowledge from all the things I’m studying as part of the program I’m in. I enjoy reading books by Roald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, Jonathan Franzen, Mark Salzman, Nick Hornby, and Ned Vizzini.
