Wonder Boys
An
Unfinished novel, a stolen car, a murdered pet an unstable student, a fed
wife, a pregnant lover. It's safe to say that Grady Tripp has a number of
issues to deal with weekend. Grady is a 50-ish years English professor who
hasn't had a thing published in years not since he wrote his award
winning Great American Novel 7 years ago. Its hardly
surprising, then that his college's annual literary festival fills the
former wonder boy with more than his usual quota of self doubt and
anxiety. This festival weekend, however, proves even worse than he could
have imagined as he finds himself reeling from one misadventure to another
in the company of a new wonder boy, James Leer. He's Grady's most gifted
writing student. He's also a fluent liar whose peculiar behavior launches
the professor on a picaresque odyssey of self discovery © 2000 Paramount
