Who is? You are? Really?

I Am Charlotte Simmons, a book I am now reading, set to be filmed. Will use it, or parts of it, as the tome is huge, for my "higher ed in film and fiction" class this spring, da mudder of dis blog. Having hung my hat in the gorgeous mountains of western NC for a spell, I think I know Charlotte Simmons, who hails from such hollers. And I have hung my hat at colleges, from elite privates to isolated comprehensives to behemoth MooU land grants, for years. It is interesting to see Charlotte make the transition to a thinly veiled Duke surrogate. (Link via Maud Newton)
