My Education by Susan Choi
Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. He s said to lie in the dark in his office while undergraduate women read couplets to him. He's condemned on the walls of the women's restroom, and enjoys films by Roman Polanski. But no one has warned Regina about his exceptional physical beauty - or his charismatic, volatile wife. My Education is the story of Regina's mistakes, which only begin in the bedroom, and end - if they do - fifteen years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, Regina's misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge.The Foreign Student, Susan Choi's first novel, earned the Asian-American Literary Prize for fiction. Her second novel, American Woman, was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2004 and her third, A Person of Interest, was a PEN/Faulkner Award finalist in 2009. She has earned scholarships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation, and in 2010 she was awarded the PEN/W. The G.Sebald Prize is given to a writer who has made a significant contribution to She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two sons and teaches at Princeton.
