In 2023, poet Skip Gershwin returns to Soleri College— the experimental school in the desert Southwest where he was once a student— simply expecting to teach. Instead, he steps into a politically engineered takeover. A powerful governor has installed a new board determined to purge Soleri of “wokeness,” placing courses, faculty, and students under ideological siege. As the campus fractures, resistance forms in uneven, conflicted ways: principled, chaotic, and sometimes self-defeating. Skip finds himself pulled between loyalty to his students, his own artistic instincts, and the harsh realities of a school being remade from above.
The Goldbach Conjecture is a timely, razor-sharp novel about the fragility of liberal institutions and whether a community can survive when those sworn to govern it are determined to remake it in their own image.
Listeners will find The Goldbach Conjecture, by turns, funny, sexy, political, erudite, and, in the end, deadly serious.
