A new tour of the LSU campus and surrounding areas aims to illuminate the university’s historic literary traditions even though we know you only really care about getting into Tiger Stadium

Nolde Alexius, author of the book The Best of LSU Fiction, and Judy Kahn, a former LSU English instructor, created the tour in hopes of tricking people into believing that this university cares about something other than athletics.

The tour spans from Allen Hall, where author Robert Penn Warren wrote “All the King’s Men” to the filming location of all 8 million “Saw” movies, most commonly known as Lockett Hall.

Short story writer Jean Stafford lived on Chimes Street, another location on the LSU literary tour. Stafford’s apartment would be the first stop before Highland Coffees, a notable site where many bad poems and unfinished novels were born.
The tour, however, cannot yet become a reality until Alexius finds a guide. Auditions will take place in the Parade Grounds at dusk, where contestants must fight to the death using only books and paper.
The Funyon on Twitter will have up to the minute details of the bloodbath.
