About the Book

A smart, fast, funny, and incisive portrait of today's liberal arts college scene, cancel culture, and more.

A chance encounter-if it is by chance-gives J. the opportunity of a lifetime. A physician in a midlife funk, he is invited to speak at a small college. But when he arrives at the secluded island campus of Nevergreen College he gets a lot more than he bargained for. No one actually shows up for his talk, but that doesn't stop it from becoming the center of a firestorm of controversy-with potentially fatal consequences.

"Nevergreen brings to mind Vonnegut's brilliant short story, Harrison Bergeron, but on steroids. Pessin's is an unsparing satire, at once funny and horrifying and compelling because it's so real."-Howard Gordon, Emmy Award Winning Producer of Homeland, 24, The X-Files

"One part Lucky Jim and three parts One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Andrew Pessin's terrific and terrifying novel may just be the great campus novel of our generation. Every page delivers a hearty laugh, and every laugh soon blooms into a painful stab of recognition, reminding us that we're all stuck on Nevergreen. This one is a pure delight."-Liel Leibovitz, editor at large, Tablet Magazine

"Sharp, funny, and ultimately scary, Nevergreen cuts right to the quick of campus cancel culture and the ideological excesses that generate it. It may officially be a satire but it may as well be a documentary, it's so close to home. That something so serious can also be so entertaining is impressive."-William Jacobson, Cornell University

"Welcome to Nevergreen, a small college in full descent into madness. Intelligent and witty, with crackling dialogue and keenly planted in the cultural firmament, Nevergreen engages from start to finish. More Animal Farm than Animal House. Be prepared to be offended and like it."-Scott Johnston, author of Amazon bestseller, Campusland

"A biting satire of a college campus driven literally mad with political correctness. Funny, disturbing, and thought-provoking, Nevergreen will change the way you look at college life."-Michael Satlow, Brown University

"Nevergreen is so painful I wanted to stop; yet so funny I kept going. Pessin has written a delirious yet detailed roman à clé for almost any campus today. Parody imitates life as Kafka wanders through Wokeland. In its own outrageous way, a triumph of sanity."-Richard Landes, Boston University

"A rampage of a novel. Pessin's nightmarish, all-too-real satire of contemporary academia is part Pynchon, part Kafka, and the most ominous campus horror tale since C. S. Lewis had demons infiltrate Edgestow University in That Hideous Strength."-Michael Weingrad, Portland State University

"Read Professor Pessin's fantabulous book on the nuking of the college mind. It is Kafka's Trial meets the movie American Pie, and it will make your sides heave with hilarity while your heart weeps over the horror that is 'wokefulness.' Read this book NOW, and then JOIN THE RESISTANCE."-Ze'ev Maghen, Shalem College, author of John Lennon and the Jews

"Think a brilliant case of David Lodge meets 1984. You laugh until you realize just how close this is to reality. Pessin updates the academic novel to include cancel culture and virtue signaling. Strongly, strongly recommended."-Peter Herman, San Diego State University
