Arkansas: Three Novellas

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Here are three novellas of escape and exile, touching and funny and at times calculatedly outrageous.

And in "The Term-Paper Artist," a writer named David Leavitt, hiding out at his father's house in the aftermath of a publishing scandal, experiences literary rejuvenation when he agrees to write term papers for UCLA undergraduates in exchange for sex.
