Reviews

The funniest, most poignant novel of the year
Funny, fearless . . . acutely inspects the power of the white gaze, academic imperialism, peer rivalry and self-hate
A rollicking, whip-smart ride through the hallowed halls of academia
Witty, knowing and funny . . . If Donna Tartt set the bar for the noirish campus novel, Elaine Hsieh Chou is setting a new bar for sharp, sideways takes on academia
