A “tour de force” (Publishers Weekly) from a Pulitzer Prize–winning author: At a Midwestern agricultural college, everyone has an agenda — but someone’s shady schemes are about to shake up the status quo. A “smart, irreverent, and wickedly tender” New York Times bestseller that “suggests a mix of Tom Wolfe’s wit and John Updike’s satiny reach” (The Boston Globe).

Jane Smiley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres, instantly captured the admiration and laughter of readers everywhere when Moo was published. A New York Times bestseller, it is a hilarious tour through the inner sanctums of a Midwestern university. "Everyone at the large agricultural college dubbed Moo U. has an agenda. Whether it's massaging data, running secret experiments, or seducing the powerful, each person is dedicated to a plan. Meet Dr. Lionel Gift, who feels that his economic principles come directly from God. Visit with ""Earl Butz"", who is being groomed to be the biggest hog in history. Mull over The Common Wisdom, what every secretary knows. As these agendas begin to collide, Moo trots toward a deliciously loony climax. Although Moo focuses a sharp eye on academia, its satire is tempered by loveable characters who ring absolutely true."

Through narrator Suzanne Toren's performance, you'll soon feel like part of the lively herd at Moo U.
