The Devil and Webster by Jean Hanff Korelitz

4.0

I don't want to give away too much of this story. The themes I found fascinating were about our notion of privacy in a world that is becoming increasingly public, the peak into academia, and the generational differences that are emerging today. This is a pretty compelling story of a small liberal arts college president who is so idealistic that she is ignorant in her actions and plays out as naive. I didn't care for how she was written as an isolated feminist so removed in her ivory tower that she doesn't understand the basic tenets of life and humanity. But I did enjoy the unfurling of the obvious plot arc.
