Long time readers of Prawfs may remember we like novels about academia (my personal favorites remain Richard Russo’s Straight Man and John William’s Stoner. To that add campus HBO shows and limited series, like The Chair. Now there are two new releases – Rooster on HBO and Vladimir on Netflix both released this week, both dealing with same themes of cancellation culture, the academic power couple who ends up in a scandal with the husband faculty member having an affair with a student, the generational tensions within faculties. And both are about English professors, and the delicate, and for some – impossible – dance of writing while teaching.
