Fantastic campus novel posing as an MA thesis plumbs the depths of the desire and power nexus. Fun, painful, compelling. Seduction Theory is the perfect late summer read. @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Genre Seductions
In his August booknotes column, Anthony Domestico writes on the seductions of the campus novel.
"Fiction, through artifice, can arrive at truth. Artifice isn’t incidental but essential to the task."

Emily Adrian’s SEDUCTION THEORY is a clever, layered tale that pokes fun at academia, particularly at the rituals and eccentricities of a graduate creative-writing program.

Dogs on a walk look so happy. Some look like they're working and they're really proud of the job they're doing, some look like they just got out of work and they're off snowboarding for the weekend, and some look like they just got engaged and they're still too emotional to speak.

biggest lie I ever told my husband was neglecting to mention that the rescue from which we adopted our Great Pyr speculated he might be mixed with Newfoundland
