Princeton Alumni Weekly Book Club selects Sweet Fury as its next pick!

Welcome to PAW Book Club, where Princeton alumni and friends read a book together.

Here’s how it works: Four times a year, members read a book — written by an alum or faculty member — and send their questions to the Princeton Alumni Weekly. We ask the author their questions, record the interview, and post it as a podcast. With each new read, PAW randomly selects 25 members to receive a FREE signed copy of the book. 

Sweet Fury by Sash Bischoff, Class of 2009

Bischoff’s first novel plays with the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald 1917 — his characters, his writing style, and his experience at Princeton. The dark, twisty tale follows a celebrity actress starring in a feminist adaptation of Tender Is the Night as she begins working with a therapist. Both characters are alumni.

Author and Princeton humanities professor Joyce Carol Oates said: “Sweet Fury is a wildly imaginative, very dark romance of a kind that would have shocked F. Scott Fitzgerald, that icon of the Roaring Twenties. Filled with surprises, unpredictable in its denouement, this audacious first novel is a subversive and highly entertaining exploration of the theme of ‘romance’ itself.”
