If you want to learn what Julian teaches in his classes, read Poetics by Aristotle. It’s not as hard to read as it looks, and you don’t need much pre-knowledge in philosophy to understand it, just need to know a little bit about greek tragedies (Oedipus Rex and Antigone by Sophocle, Odissey and Illiad by Homer are good ways to start). Reading it will make you feel you’re a part of the classics murderer friends group.
