ABSTRACT
This novella tells the story of a woman’s desire to obtain a professor’s chair and what it means to use writing and language differently and to challenge genre conventions in academe. The novella unfolds within the university, the writing happens both in the process of writing by the author and for the main character in the novella in other places. Questions of what it means to write and not write, scenery, place and space, social relations, life and death, are inextricably intertwined with the architectural spaces, rooms, and corridors of a university built of yellow brick.
