Wow! My story is much like yours, but mine occurred - wait for it - in the late 1970s! I'll send you more details as soon as I can (it might take a month). I also have been planning to send my story (English major, English PhD student, PhD dropout) to Joshua Dolezal, whose story has some similarities to yours. Do you follow his Substack? How about John Pistelli's Substack?
