"Beautifully and economically written, and very funny." āLinda Wertheimer, NPR
This is your chance to enroll in English 10 at highly rated Hellman Collegeāif you can find a place to sit in the fantastically overcrowded classroom.
Mark Sternum, whom readers first met in Downingās beloved novel Perfect Agreement, is a veteran teacher. Twenty years older, separated for six months from his longtime lover, and desperate to duck the overtures of doubleādealing deans above him and disgruntled adjunct faculty below him, Mark has one ambition every day he is on campusāto close the classroom door and leave the world behind. His escape, however, is complicated by his contentious, complicated wrestling match of a relationship with the Professor, the tenured faculty member with whom Mark has coātaught this creativeāwriting workshop for ten years.
The spectacle of their rigorous, academic relationship is a chance for studentsāall of usāto learn what an amazing arena the classroom can be. Replete with engaging writing exercises, harsh criticism, and contrarian advice, Still in Love is the story of one semester in a college classroom. And it is an urgent reminder that we desperately need classrooms, that those singular, sealedāoffāfromātheāworld sanctuaries are where we learn to love our lives.
