BLUE ANGEL

Francine Prose

It has been years since Swenson, a professor in a New England creative writing program, has published a novel. It's been even longer since any of his students have shown promise. Enter Angela Argo, a pierced, tattooed student with a rare talent for writing. Angela is just the thing Swenson needs. And, better yet, she wants his help. But, as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. . . .

Deliciously risqué, Blue Angel is a withering take on today's academic mores and a scathing tale that vividly shows what can happen when academic politics collides with political correctness.

Comments

Once you start reading it, you'll be hooked. It's not that Prose has simply reversed the politically correct line for mischief's sake. Rather she has upped the stakes by making Angela as unknowable as Nabokov's Lolita, but - utterly unlike her nymphet predecessor - plain, ambitious and rebelliously an artist on her own account. -- New York Times Book Review
