Description
The campus novel is a subgenre of fiction spotlighting the human comedy of academic life. Wherever you are—at the beach, overseas, in your office toiling away--join us Fridays in July 3:00-4:00pm in Zoom to talk about a book. Register for one or as many discussions as you like, and FTLC will send you the print or audio version, your choice. Please register only for the book(s) you will meet to discuss. Open to all GVSU faculty and staff.
Dear Committee Members, by Julie Schumacher (2014):
"Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing and literature at Payne University, a small and not very distinguished liberal arts college in the midwest. His department is facing draconian cuts and squalid quarters, while one floor above them the Economics Department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His once-promising writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life, in part as the result of his unwise use of his private affairs for his novels. His star (he thinks) student can't catch a break with his brilliant (he thinks) work Accountant in a Bordello, based on Melville's Bartleby."
This event has been tagged as book, club, ftlc, pew, and summer.
