Event Overview
Real Life, Brandon Taylor’s critically-acclaimed debut novel, follows a graduate student named Wallace through a late-summer weekend in a Midwestern college town. As he copes with the aftermath of a mishap in the lab, Wallace, who is Black, also deals with subtle and not-so-subtle racism and a sense of alienation from his friends, and struggles to decide whether he should stay on in his PhD program. We’ll talk with Taylor, himself a former graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, about how his own experiences in academia informed the story.

Before and after the webinar, readers are invited to join the discussion in The Scientist Social Club Facebook Group.
