Blue Angel
A creative writing professor enmeshed in his own midlife crisis becomes obsessed with one of his students: a pierced, punky girl named Angela who, against all logic, turns out to be a good writer. As her hero copes with troubles ranging from marital to professional, Prose`s satirical novel of academia surveys campus life with a humorous eye and overturns some stereotypes in the process. Nominated for a 2000 National Book Award. A New York Times Notable Book for the year 2000.
