At Lit Hub Temple tagged the 60 best campus novels from the last 100 years, including:
Julie Schumacher, Dear Committee Members (2014)Read about another entry on the list.
A campus novel in the form of a series of recommendation letters from a very put-upon (and irritated) professor. As funny as it sounds.
Dear Committee Members is among Louise Dean's top ten novels about novelists, Emily Temple's fifteen great campus novels published in the last decade, Jenn Ashworth and Richard V. Hirst's ten top modern epistolary novels, Maureen Corrigan's top 12 books of 2014, Kate DiCamillo's 3 favorite books of 2014, and Ellen Wehle's four top novels "in which teachers and students run just a little bit off the rails."
