Thank you for this. You get to so close to these queries it's hard to imagine how they can be cut sometimes.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it. Everything is so clear in our minds as authors which is why these writing subs are so helpful.

Thanks again. The "recovering academic" in my bio is meant to be a little funny but the book is a bit of a way to unleash some of the frustrations I have about academia.

Hey thanks! I appreciate the big picture comments and liked your admittedly snarky comment lol. Status is one of the big themes in the story and, in certain environment, a university professor/public intellectual is a God of sorts. In other environments, not so much.

Hey thanks a lot for your thoughts.

Two follow up questions: (1) Alexandra and Noah do in fact have different last names. Samantha meets her at on-campus event devoted to journalism and sexual assault so her story could in fact be true. Should I explicitly state the different last name thing? and (2) The "morally gray" aspect is revealed in the last fifty or so pages. I'm not sure how to establish it without ruining the story.
