this books is a classic! we get to see all these events unfold from Richard's unreliable narrative while simultaneously start despising each character as the story continues. I love how donna managed to show how much privileged each character was and how they got away with whatever just because of it. Also how thru this satire book opened the eyes of some people of how white academia in general is! i definitely recommend reading this especially in the fall.
