Tom is a young man without a plan. After graduating from university
in the UK, his search for something meaningful sees him embark on a
doctorate in political philosophy at the prestigious Laughton
University in the US. When he secures a scholarship from the
Willoughby T. Forsyth Foundation, the future’s looking bright
across the pond… After two relatively quiet years at Laughton,
the election of Trump galvanises Tom to join the political activism
sweeping campus, through which he finally finds a purpose – and a
girlfriend! But in a cruel twist of fate, the budding progressive
activist’s life is thrown into chaos when the sordid past of
Willoughby T. Forsyth is revealed. Dumped, publicly shamed and with
his bank account empty, Tom struggles haplessly through the fallout
from under his desk. Will he ever make it out? Witty and
thought-provoking in equal measure, Pond Life is a satire of
contemporary academia that questions the institutionalisation of
privilege and highlights the dangers of unequal power.
