The Life of the Mind

A campus novel like no other; moving from a classroom, to a conference in Las Vegas to a karaoke party, this novel is a discomforting glimpse into the head of a brilliant woman on the edge- it is about endings: of youth, of professional aspiration, of possibility, of the illusion that our minds can ever free us from the tyranny of our bodies.
