"Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos" is a searing debut novel by Nash Jenkins that delves into a tragic scandal at an American prep school. Told through the lens of a literary investigation, the book explores themes of identity, privilege, and the consequences of one's actions.
The novel takes place in 2008, a year marked by significant cultural and political events. Foster Dade, a transfer student, arrives at Kennedy, an elite boarding school in New Jersey, navigating adolescence in the wake of his parents' scandalous divorce. He befriends Annabeth Whittaker and Jack Albright, the twin centers of Kennedy's social gravity, who take him under their wing.
Eighteen months later, Foster is expelled following a tragic scandal that leaves Kennedy and its students irreparably changed. When the narrator inherits Foster's old dorm room, he begins an epic years-long investigation into what exactly happened. Through interviews with former classmates, Foster's blog posts, playlists, and text archives, and his own obsessive imagination, the story unfurls, revealing Foster's perspective, as well as the broader societal implications of the scandal.
"Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos" is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, asking questions about the ownership of personal narratives and the ways in which we shape ourselves to be the heroes or villains of our own stories. Jenkins' debut novel is praised for its juicy prose, sharp characterization, and its ability to capture the essence of millennial culture.
With its compelling narrative and provocative themes, "Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos" is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary literature and the complexities of modern life.
