Jewish law professor Adam Wright stars as the fictional hero of a hilarious, heartfelt novel for anyone who cares about education, lawyers, or ambitious, high-performing Jews — and their parents.
The Curve is set at a down-and-out law school on the toxic banks of Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal, where Adam finds himself trapped in a school-wide grading scam, surrounded by an administration on the take, and stuck in an office that once was a restroom. He teams up with his beautiful and brilliant colleague, Laura Stapleton, and a cast of digitally-distracted, deeply-in-debt students to salvage the mess and save himself — before it’s too late.
Inspired by the headlines about corruption in higher education and written by two Harvard Law graduates with six previously-published books between them, The Curve is relevant to anyone who’s ever wondered where their tuition money is buried.
