SUMMARY:Rafael Frumkin’s CONFIDENCE
DESCRIPTION:Content welcomes Carleton alum Rafael Frumkin for a reading from her latest novel CONFIDENCE. Join us on Thursday, February 27th at 7 pm for a delightful evening!\n“Theranos but make it gay.” —Electric Literature\nBest friends (and occasional lovers) Ezra and Orson are teetering on top of the world after founding a company that promises instant enlightenment in this “propulsive, cheeky, eat-the-rich page-turner” (The Washington Post) about scams, schemes, and the absurdity of the American Dream.\nAt seventeen, Ezra Green doesn’t have a lot going on for him: he’s shorter than average, snaggle-toothed, internet-addicted, and halfway to being legally blind. He’s also on his way to Last Chance Camp, the final stop before juvie.\nBut Ezra’s summer at Last Chance turns life-changing when he meets Orson, brilliant and Adonis-like with a mind for hustling. Together, the two embark upon what promises to be a fruitful career of scam artistry. But things start to spin wildly out of control when they try to pull off their biggest scam yet—Nulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss.\n“Propulsive” (The New York Times Book Review) and “laugh-out-loud funny” (BuzzFeed), with the suspense of THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, the decadence of The Great Gatsby, and the wit of Succession, CONFIDENCE is a story for anyone who knows that the American Dream is just another pyramid scheme.\nRafael Frumkin (Carleton ’12) is the author of two novels – THE COMEDOWN (Henry Holt, 2018), CONFIDENCE (Simon and Schuster, 2023) – and a short story collection, BUGSY (Simon and Schuster, 2024). Confidence was named a New York Times Editor’s Pick and one of the Washington Post’s 50 Notable Works of Fiction. The Comedown was acquired for TV development by Freddie Highmore and Regina King, and then by SONY Trident.\nRaf has written journalism, essays, and criticism for The New York Times, The Point, Granta, and the Washington Post, among others. She was a professor of creative writing at Southern Illinois University before leaving academia to pursue writing and lecturing full-time, and is glad to be paying Northfield a visit again!\n
