The Plot
Details: Jacob Finch Bonner was once a bright young novelist who had a well-received debut. He's currently teaching in a mediocre MFA school and struggling to keep his dignity; he hasn't written—let alone published—anything decent in years. When Evan Parker, Jake's most egotistical student, declares that he doesn't need Jake's aid because the storyline of his unfinished novel is a foregone conclusion, Jake is ready to dismiss the statement as usual amateur narcissism. However, he then hears the plot.
