A proposito di questo titolo
A LitHub Most Anticipated Book of 2026 * “Tense...Witty...Impeccably written.” —Glamour, Best Books for Book Clubs 2026 * “A unicorn...Truly thought-provoking.” —Bustle, Best New Books of March
Sam, an adjunct professor in Baltimore, is juggling five classes between two campuses when she crosses paths with her former grad school advisor, Dr. Tom Sternberg. The two have a complicated history, and it’s the last thing Sam wants to think about as she navigates academic politics, side hustles, applications for a dwindling number of tenure-track positions, and romantic entanglements with men and women that further complicate a sexuality not even she can define. Then she learns that Tom left his old job for undisclosed reasons—and his long-awaited second novel is about a professor reckoning with his checkered past. As rumors spread that Sam is the inspiration behind a central character, she fights to regain control of the story.
A hilarious yet sobering look at how hustle culture has come to define modern academia, The Adjunct offers a bold twist on a tangled MeToo story and turns Sam’s downward spiral into a searing critique of class and the hollow promises of the American dream.

Recensioni della critica
"An exploration of academia and identity through a feminist lens."
"This novel is both a commentary on the current state of academia and the story of a woman trying to control her own narrative. Suehyla El-Attar Young voices Sam, an adjunct professor at a public university in Baltimore. When she takes on additional courses at a liberal arts school nearby, she is unexpectedly put in direct contact with her former grad school advisor, with whom she shares a questionable past. Listeners will be immersed in Sam's attempt to define herself while balancing the precarious reality of a career as an adjunct. Young does an excellent job of conveying Sam's frustration, confusion, and determination with both humor and heart."
