The Guardian publishes a review of Canadian author Randy Boyagoda's novel, describing it as a 'propulsive, globe-trotting tale' that 'brilliantly skewers the corruption and corporatisation of higher education.' The novel centers on characters from Sri Lanka, the US, and Italy navigating university systems marked by grade-fixing, faculty replacement by AI, and administrative malfeasance.
