I am not completely certain but I believe the authors' mother was saying "F the bread it is over" as a sort of metaphor regarding last years fad of baking bread during the lockdown and how it is no longer important.
It could also be a commentary on the ketogenic diet movement gaining ground in recent years.
Bread is also slang for money so it could be refering that the author cant make any money but thats a stretch.
On a side note, one of my favorite science/fantasy fiction authors is a professor at Brigham Young University. He completed possibly the greatest fantasy series every written, so I don't see any reason why a class about fairytales wouldn't work.
- krapht 5y agoIt's way more than that. The author explicitly compares making bread with heroic trials princes perform to win princesses. She is referencing her struggle to get a tenure track position in academia.
- sigmaprimus 5y agoOh OK, I suffer from being to literal. Metaphors and symbolism are difficult for me grasp, especially when reading for some reason.

- sp332 5y agoI'm guessing it's David Wolverton, although he is not currently teaching there.
- sigmaprimus 5y agoBrandon Sanderson Maybe he is not actually a prof. Finished The Wheel of Time series after Robert Jordan passed away.
- sigmaprimus 5y agoI actually haven't read RuneLords but am looking for something to unwind with before sleep. Would You reccomend?
