Description

Pewter Stapelton's life is a never-ending task list. As he struggles to keep up with marking, his university colleagues seem to be cloning themselves in an effort to reduce costs. Amidst the chaos, Pewter finds himself driven to turn his experiences into works of drama and fiction. As factuality and invention rub shoulders, Pewter's writing becomes a source of both comfort and frustration. His life as a creative writer is inextricably linked to his role as a teacher, making it difficult to separate reality from fiction. This novel offers a humorous exploration of the challenges faced by writers and teachers alike, highlighting the blurred lines between fact and fiction.
