  <title><![CDATA[Alumnus Butler on the Power of Writing]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>“I didn’t know fiction did those things,” says IAC alumnus and Atlanta author <strong>Blake Butler</strong>, recalling a David Foster Wallace book he received for Christmas while studying computer science at Georgia Tech.&nbsp;“That was like the high watermark of what I’d found. After I read it, I just started writing voraciously." He also switched his major to "the most liberal arts degree he could find at Tech." <em>Source: <a href="http://www.accessatlanta.com/news/entertainment/for-author-blake-butler-its-an-abstract-world/nTqcL/" target="_blank">Access Atlanta</a>, January 8, 2013</em></p>]]></body>
