At the height of the 1960s, a British writer accepts an academic
post in America for a year that he'll never forget English author
James Walker has three books to his name, each greeted with
middling success and then promptly forgotten. But his resume is
significant enough to earn him a yearlong appointment at Benedict
Arnold University as the American college's writer in residence. At
Benedict Arnold, Walker is something of a celebrity--a firebrand of
1960s British literary culture whose work, though perhaps met with
shrugs at home, is the subject of vibrant scholarly criticism among
American academics. Walker, of course, is not quite what some were
expecting, and culture clashes abound as he encounters the tropes
of American academia in the sixties. Fusty, buttoned-up professors,
spirited advocates of free love, and aggressively ambitious
colleagues collide to ensure that Walker's year in America will be
anything but ordinary.
