The Adjunct

From the acclaimed author of How to Be Eaten, a fresh take on the campus novel that follows an adjunct professor gigging her way through academia's poor job market when she crosses paths with her old PhD adviser whose new novel might be about her--for readers of Worry, Vladimir, and Less. Meet Sam, an adjunct professor at a public university in Baltimore who takes a last-minute gig at the private liberal arts college down the road. Overworked and underpaid, her life is a blur of back-to-back classes, side hustles, and job applications as she attempts to claw her way toward a full-time position. But her already precarious existence is thrown into disarray when she runs into her former grad school adviser, Dr. Tom Sternberg, on campus. Tom and Sam have a complicated history, the lasting impact of which has haunted her academic career, and it's the last thing she wants to think about as she navigates academic politics, institutional hurdles, and romantic entanglements with men and women that further complicate a sexuality not even she can define. Then she learns that Tom left his old job for undisclosed reasons--and his long-awaited second novel is about a professor's reckoning with his checkered past. As whispers spread that Sam is the inspiration behind a central character, she fights to regain control of the story while questioning everything she thought she knew about her future--and herself. With biting humor and a keen eye for detail, Maria Adelmann offers a fresh twist on a tangled #MeToo story and turns Sam's downward spiral into a searing critique of class and the hollow promises of the American dream. A hilarious yet sobering look at how hustle culture has come to define modern academia, The Adjunct asks: Who really controls the narratives of success, identity, and power?

Alice

Nina always thought her mother Alice was the most proper woman alive-an uptight, cardigan-wearing high school French teacher who never cussed and never did anything wild, except maybe going to a sperm bank to have Nina on her own. When Alice is informed this is the last year the school will offer French, they're both confident she'll land another teaching position. But on the last day of school, that still hasn't happened. They're storing years of personal teaching materials in the garage when a taxi pulls up. Out steps Jack-Alice's long-lost, long-haired, pot-smoking father from her chaotic youth.As Alice tries to keep Jack at arm's length, the past starts bleeding into the present-and then the future threatens to collapse. A bank notice reveals her neighborhood is being gutted by corporate takeovers and plummeting property values. Alice was depending on her home equity to carry them over until she gets a new job. With nothing left to lose, Alice-armed with Jack's protest signs and Nina's wide-eyed support-takes a stand.What begins as a one-woman sit-in turns into a grassroots movement, fueled by unlikely alliances and old-school rebellion. In a world where everything seems designed to keep people small and quiet, Alice is about to learn how loud she can be.
