Drawing on hours of videotaped interviews and copious ethnographic notes, Douglas Hunt has fashioned a nonfiction novel about learning and teaching writing. It traces the lives of six first-year students and their teacher from their first day together in a comp classroom through the end of the semester. Hunt's book will excite theorists and ethnographers with its thick descriptions and offer questions worth considering to both new composition teachers and veterans. How do first-year college students experience their teachers? Their assignments? Their separation from home? How do these feelings support or inhibit learning?

In addition, a foreword by ethnographer Wendy Bishop situates the book within the discipline, and an.
