"If you graduated only to feel disillusioned about academia, you’ll relate to Disorientation, a literary satire that takes a hilarious and refreshingly honest look at the power dynamics of college campuses. As Ph.D. student Ingrid Yang procrastinates writing her dissertation on the (fictional) poet Xiao-Wen Chou, she stumbles upon a discovery about Chou that upends her life and sense of self. It sends her on an adventure to uncover the truth, which becomes a surprising journey to social consciousness. This one will have you rolling over with laughter and texting your college group chat."
