Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon
A made-into-a-movie satirical classic, Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon ventures into the brooding hijinks of a flawed English professor and his protégé who find themselves jumbling through the shadows of frequented locales in their Pittsburgh college town, each haunted by aspirations to publish a book—while the writing in this novel itself delivers a clever statement on the turbulent pursuit of its craft.
