Ted Swenson is a writer-in-residence at a liberal arts college in New England. It's a small town and everyone--not just the other faculty and students, but a waitress at a restaurant and the owner of the bookstore--know him and make assumptions about him, namely that he is working on his third novel. However,
we, the readers of this novel, know something different. What does it tell us about this protagonist that he is teaching students how to write fiction and he no longer writes it himself?
Other questions:
- What do you think of his relationship w/ Angela Argo so far? His relationship w/ his wife? With his daughter? With his colleagues?
- What is the point-of-view of this novel and how does that affect the way you're reading it?
- Based on what you've read so far, what do you expect to happen?
- What questions do you have so far?
