Lies of Admission
Two satirical novels about American academia and entertainment. In Randy Boyagoda’s campus novel Lords of Serendipity, a Sri Lankan village girl and a middle-class American girl, and their fathers, chase places at an elite university. Afsheen Farhadi’s debut False Prophet follows Jal, a grieving actor who writes a memoir of his mother’s encounter with cult leader Jim Jones that is all lies. Jodi-Ann Burey, author of Authentic, moderates.
