University Gossip

An unfortunate series of events befall a group of university sophomores as they struggle to come to terms with their individual and collective identities.

A response to the changing American ethos. An intimate study of identity and power in a postmodern world. In UNIVERSITY GOSSIP, Brian Herman touches on class, race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, abledness, and politics, and boils it all down into what it really means to be human as a part of the cosmos.

Brian Herman spent five years in southwest China researching his first groundbreaking work of fiction, ONE RAINY SEASON IN YUNNAN. His second short novel, UNIVERSITY GOSSIP, was written during a seven-year sojourn in California.
