Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher

• Having spent a few years early in my career in academia I found the tone and structure of the book engaging and funny.  The book consists solely of letters written by a troubled professor who posses glaring social awkwardness.
• This book highlights the effusive praise that professors are asked to authentically give repeatedly for students they do not know well.
• Impressively with such a limiting structure, the book progresses with the plot involving several characters.
