Humor & Heart: Satirizing Schools, Hollywood & Life

2:15 PM - 3:00 PM

Saturday, November 16

Capitol Extension Room: E2.016 (1100 Congress Ave., Austin, TX 78701)

Dive into two uproarious novels that blend satire, heart, and social commentary with authors Jennifer Mathieu, The Faculty Lounge, and Justin Taylor, Reboot. Mathieu draws from her own experience as a teacher, bringing a hilarious and heartfelt look into the chaotic lives of educators, administrators, and staff at a Texas high school in the midst of a truly bizarre year. Taylor’s darkly comedic Reboot follows a washed-up child actor as he attempts to revive his career while reckoning with the absurdities of Hollywood and internet culture.
