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 cafeÌ, 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a College students $v Fiction. 610 20 $a Columbia University $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Protest movements $v Fiction. 650 6 $a EÌtudiants $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a AnneÌes soixante-dix (VingtieÌme sieÌcle) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Guerre du VieÌt-nam, 1961-1975 $x Contestation $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 610 27 $a Columbia University $2 fast 650 7 $a College students $2 fast 650 7 $a Nineteen seventies $2 fast 650 7 $a Protest movements $2 fast 648 7 $a 1961-1975 $2 fast 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a Bildungsromans $2 fast 655 7 $a Campus fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast 655 7 $a Campus fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schnader, Jeff. $t Serpent papers $d Sag Harbor, NY : The Permanent Press, [2022] $z 9781579626501 $w (DLC) 2021045311 941 $a 2 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323013027.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20231216010537.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC2E9ECC9BE011EE97202A6F2DECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
