Overview
Named One of the Best Books of the Year by VOGUE and VOX
A "very funny,Ā very good" (B. J. Novak)Ā debut novel about a graduate student who follows her disgraced mentor to a university that gives safe harbor to scholars of ill repute, igniting a crisis of work and a test of her conscience (and marriage)
Ā
Helen decides she must goāher work is too important. She brings along her partner, Hew, who is much less sanguine about living on an island where the disgraced and deplorable get to operate with impunity. On campus, Helen finds herself drawn to an iconoclastic older novelist, while Hew stews in an increasingly radical protest movement. Their rift deepens until both confront choices that will reshape their livesāand maybe the world.
Ā
Irreverent, generous, anchored in character, and provocative without being polemical, How I Won a Nobel Prize illuminates the compromises weāll make for progress, what it means to be a good person, and how to win a Nobel Prize. Turns out all of it would be simpleāif you could run the numbers.
