et id genus omne
From Latin, meaning "and all of that kind," used to allude to or include other similar people or things without naming them directly. The class focuses on the usual suspects of modernist poets—Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, et id genus omne. The plot, such as it is, acts as a treatise on such tired burdens facing the affluent elite as lack of purpose in life, estranged relationships, et id genus omne. The protagonist endures so many terrible things in the novel—loss of spouse, child, homeland, et id genus omne—that I could barely get up to chapter five.
