The Life of the Mind (LEAD) Book Information:

OF 2021***Calling all millennials - This is the comic novel for you.THE TIMESThe Life of the Mind opens with Dorothy sitting on a library toilet, checking her phone and examining the thick, curdled knots of string coming out of her body. No one but her boyfriend knows that shes had a miscarriage, not even her therapistsDorothy has two of them.An adjunct professor of English in New York City with no hope of finding a permanent position, Dorothys stuck, unable to envision the future or cut ties with the past. What did you call it, she asks herself, when a life stopped developing, but it didnt end?Christine Smallwoods debut is a campus novel like no other. Piercingly intelligent and darkly hilarious, it moves from a classroom to an underwater puppet show, from a conference in Las Vegas to a karaoke party. It is a discomforting glimpse into the head of a brilliant woman on the edge, it is a novel about endings: of youth, of professional aspiration, of possibility, of the illusion that our minds can ever free us from the tyranny of our bodies.WHAT READERS ARE SAYINGI am expecting this one to blow up along the lines of My Year Of Rest and Relaxation.Jennifer on NetgalleyMoving and unflinching.Stephen on NetgalleySo smart!
