Color me interested, and all. But I'm not sure from the discussion what this class hopes to implant in the student population. I like the idea of mashing everything up and calling it you, but I can't wrap my head around how someone is going to be able to color how I do that, or you do that, if we're both respectively mashing up the different things that inspire us, and we want in our writing. 

Anyone care to shed some light on this for me?

Go to the author's website, contact him via the gmail account he has listed. Send him your questions. He's very nice, receptive. He explains gutter opera as more of a mode of thinking, not a style.
