Used book - I Am Charlotte Simmons, Tom Wolfe, Bernard Cohen

A brilliant student from a modest family, Charlotte Simmons is the first high school student from her rural county to be admitted to the prestigious Dupont University. For decades, this venerable institution has shaped America's elite. However, Charlotte will soon discover that behind the ancient facades of the campus, the pursuit of pleasure is more fashionable than the pursuit of knowledge, and that individual prestige is measured less by the honor roll than by the conquest list.

Left to her own devices in this world of ruthless rules, will Charlotte be able to resist the temptation to become one of the party queens herself?

"I Am Charlotte Simmons is a novel of unlearning and [...] a compendium of an America that is squandering its elites in the mess of trendiness, laziness, and sexual servitude."
