After his little brother is persecuted by bullies, J-Bee commits a retaliatory act of brutality, the nature of which scars him. When his best friend, Gilly, volunteers to fight in Vietnam, J-Bee--repulsed by his own violence--refuses to follow either his father or Gilly into the military. Instead, he matriculates at Columbia in 1971, an era of counterculture, drugs and sex and rock 'n roll, in order to seek his redemption. While there, he is introduced to the mysterious Serpent who recites in the campus café, and to the politically active Margo who schools him in anti-war politics and the virtues of peace. Although he feels loyalty to his best friend fighting overseas, he increasingly sympathizes with Margo's rationale against the war. Torn between supporting the war or protesting against it, J-Bee's paradoxical feelings are ignited when his friend Gilly, on furlough from Vietnam, visits him at Columbia. With ratcheting tensions and bullhorns leading students in protest, pro-war and anti-war factions collide in campus riots, and J-Bee makes the choice that defines his life"-- |cProvided by publisher. 610 20 Columbia University |vFiction. 610 27 Columbia University. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00554594 647 7 Vietnam War |d(1961-1975) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01431664 648 7 1961-1975 |2fast 650 0 College students |vFiction. 650 0 Nineteen seventies |vFiction. 650 0 Vietnam War, 1961-1975 |xProtest movements |vFiction. 650 6 Étudiants |vRomans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 Années soixante-dix (Vingtième siècle) |vRomans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 Guerre du Viêt-nam, 1961-1975 |xContestation |vRomans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 College students. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00867976 650 7 Nineteen seventies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01037812 650 7 Protest movements. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01079826 655 2 Fictional Work 655 7 Campus fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01982500 655 7 Fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 Novels. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 Campus fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Historical fiction. |2lcgft 655 7 Bildungsromans. |2lcgft 655 7 Novels. |2lcgft 655 7 Romans. |2rvmgf 776 08 |iOnline version:Schnader, Jeff. |tSerpent papers |dSag Harbor, NY : The Permanent Press, [2022] |z9781579626501 |w(DLC) 2021045311 852 |bdixn 910 |d67542 |gMIDWEST 914 (OCoLC)on1255462629 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20221117 |eprocessed |f1255462629 980 20220406 |f5273686 |hB1202mon |i29.95 |j40.23 |n3052256 982 |bFY21 |n2021 |q32101110033659 986 |hPS3619.C446543 |iS47 2022
