One of her ten top campus novels, as shared at the Guardian:
Wonder Boys by Michael ChabonRead about the other books on the list.
A college literary festival, the indelibly named WordFest, sets the plot of Chabon’s second novel in motion. The story features a novelist with a massive writer’s block, a pregnant mistress, a visiting literary agent, a gifted (but crazy!) undergraduate and, naturally, a dead dog, all of which combine in a weekend of soul-shredding misadventures. Wonder Boys also features one of the most dead-on and hilarious passages ever written on the agony of the novelist.
Wonder Boys is among Adrienne Westenfeld's eight novels set at the world's preppiest universities and John Niven's top ten writers in novels.
