Both an exorcism of contemporary academia and a comedic portrait of
an artist seeking the means to survive At once angry and jubilant,
Ray Levy’s School is a curse on life in a dying university system
and an incantation for transforming the material of one’s
academic humbling into a vessel for capacious, creative selfhood.
The novel incorporates a variety of forms, including a dissertation
manuscript possessed by the spirit of Marquis de Sade, a lecture on
psychoanalysis delivered as stand-up comedy by a dysphoric graduate
student, a review of a found-footage horror movie that’s also a
YouTube video of a conference presentation on French theory, an
interview with an avant-garde filmmaker that’s really an
invocation for conjuring your demon brother, and more. The whole
functions as a caustic ritual. School overshares and withholds,
cites and dÉtournÉs, chants and channels as it invokes the dead
fathers of deconstruction for the black mass that occurs painfully
and parodically across the pages. A hand-biting tale, one that
chews off the finger instead of kissing the ring, School is a
deeply unprofessional book about intellectual professions with
reference to endless debt and neoliberalization, coercive seduction
rites and fetishizations of authority, and the realization of a
life in which you have not lost—and, yes, you deserve the full
horizon of possibility.
