A New York Times Book Review Editors\' Choice Hilarious .
Equal parts campu. a riotous success. . .
This New York Times Book Review Editors\' Choice, is hilarious .
Wickedly entertaining, beguiling, layered, and sly, Loudermilk is a social novel for our time: a comedy of errors that deftly examines class, gender, and inheritance, and subverts our pieties about literature, authorship, art making, and the institutions that sustain them.
Loudermilk, however, has never written a poem in his life.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Midwest, Troy Augustus Loudermilk (fair-haired, statuesque, charismatic) and his companion Harry Rego (definitely none of those things) step out of a silver Land Cruiser and onto the campus of The Seminars, America\'s most prestigious creative writing program, to which Loudermilk has recently been accepted for his excellence in poetry.
Bush has recently declared the mission in Iraq accomplished, the unemployment rate is at its highest in years, and Martha Stewart has just been indicted for insider trading.
George W.
It\'s the end of summer 2003.
Equal parts campus novel, buddy comedy and meditation on art-making under late capitalism, the novel is a hugely funny portrait of an egomaniac and his nebbish best friend (The Washington Post). a riotous success. . .
