Loudermilk

Set in the summer of 2003, as the nation grapples with political and economic turmoil, "Loudermilk" follows the charismatic Troy Augustus Loudermilk and his less impressive friend Harry Rego as they arrive at America’s top creative-writing program. Despite his acceptance based on poetic excellence, Loudermilk has never written a poem. This entertaining novel navigates themes of class, gender, and inheritance while cleverly critiquing the worlds of literature and art.
