Ebook About A Best Book of the Year: NPR and Boston Globe Finally a novel that puts the "pissed" back into "epistolary." Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing and literature at Payne University, a small and not very distinguished liberal arts college in the midwest. His department is facing draconian cuts and squalid quarters, while one floor above them the Economics Department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His once-promising writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life, in part as the result of his unwise use of his private affairs for his novels. His star (he thinks) student can't catch a break with his brilliant (he thinks) work Accountant in a Bordello, based on Melville's Bartleby. In short, his life is a tale of woe, and the vehicle this droll and inventive novel uses to tell that tale is a series of hilarious letters of recommendation that Fitger is endlessly called upon by his students and colleagues to produce, each one of which is a small masterpiece of high dudgeon, low spirits, and passive-aggressive strategies. We recommend Dear Committee Members to you in the strongest possible terms.Book Dear Committee Members: A novel Review :
This book is a funny and delightful epistolary novel, comprising predominately letters of recommendation from an English professor. If you have ever worked in academia, studied in a university setting, or asked for a letter of recommendation, then this novel will resonate with you. Those in academia will especially appreciate the layers of humor.Jason Fitger is a professor of Literature and Creative Writing at Payne University, a small struggling college in the Midwest. Nothing in his life is going right. He had early success with a novel written while he was in a graduate seminar. Unfortunately, the novel was based on his life and love life as a graduate student. Subsequent novels, also autobiographical of his love life, did not do as well. His ex-wife teaches at the same university and the woman he had an affair with is also employed there. Another ex heads up a writer’s retreat. He is trying to champion the novel of one of his graduate students, but the student’s funding has been cut and he is floundering. The chair of the English Department is a sociologist. Worse yet, the Economics Department, is having a complete renovation. They reside in the same building as the English Department. The Econ profs are evacuated while the English profs are left to deal with the toxic air and construction noise. In the midst of all this, Professor Fitger writes various letters of recommendation for past and present students, letters of complaint to the university, and letters of pining and regret to his ex-lovers.This book is laugh out loud and snort out loud funny. It will really resonate with university professors. Professor Fitger is cutting and sarcastic, but totally nails university life and the inherent politics. For all his bluster and snark, Professor Fitger remains a dedicated and thoughtful teacher. This book is well-written. It is smart and funny. It is also short and can be read in one day. I will be recommending this to my friends who teach at the university level. Stumbling upon this book during the Covid lockdown was a tonic for this antediluvian English major. Dear Committee Members is both gently hilarious and unassumingly wise. At a time when English departments in many colleges are heading toward extinction, Ms Schumacher’s epistolary professor drops for amoment his sardonic persona to remind us that“student[s] of literature and creative writing” develop such “crucial traits” as “imagination, patience, resourcefulness, and empathy.” He continues: ”The reading and writing of fiction both requires and instills empathy — the insertion of oneself into the life of another.” Professor Fitger’s own capacity for generosity and compassion is all the more poignant coming as it does from a man of such formidable cynicism and mordant wit.
