• The College Novel

  
  Eleventh Stack — Authority: 124
  I’ve long thought college life to be a great subject for fiction writing, but until recently I never knew that there is a recognized ”college novel” genre. It was first brought to my attention two weeks ago when a library patron asked me for an old book called The College Novel in America   ...

• So…I’m moving.

  
  Bookslide III — Authority: 123
  Yes, part of that is thanks to my financial aid going up and down all term, but it’s also because the house I’m renting is being sold, so…eh.

• Periodical: McSweeney’s

  
  I Just Read About That... — Authority: 126
