Also, All Souls has much more of an introvert feeling. In Your Face Tomorrow, Deza was something along the lines of a man of action (befitting the noirish plot), but here his narrative voice is far less so, befitting what is essentially a campus novel. One example:
During my two years of scouting out and hunting down such books with my gloved hands, I obtained many apparently unobtainable marvels at quite ridiculous prices, such as the seventeen volumes of The Thousand Nights and a Night by Sir Richard Francis Burton (better known to booksellers as Captain Burton), which began to appear more than a century ago in a limited edition of a thousand numbered copies of each volume, available only to subscribers of the Burton Club on the understanding (which they honoured) that it would never be enlarged or reprinted: in fact that exuberant Victorian text has never again been reprinted in its entirety, but only in selections or in bowdlerised editions, which, whilst apparently complete, were in fact expurgated of everything considered at the time (or by Lady Burton to be obscene.
That’s from an entire chapter on the used bookstores of Oxford.

Visiting the family farm in Saskatchewan, he recalls his childhood relationships with brothers Freddy (Tygh Runyan) and Carl (Chris William Martin). He stays with his grown-up niece, Nadia (Deborah Kara Unger), who still hasn't forgiven him for his misdeeds of the past. Trying to make up for abandoning her, Emile develops an emotional bond with her daughter, Maria (Theo Crane). Emile premiered at the 2003 Toronto Film Festival.

Campus novel: form par excellence

Although McGurl may be right to suggest that the campus novel is the form par excellence of the postwar American novel, these books all had to, at some point, graduate into the real world, and they did so because someone thought they were marketable commodities.

Campus Novels Suggestions

Every year late August means students and faculty everywhere return to campus. If you're not fortunate enough to be one of them, you can still get that collegiate feeling by settling into a comfy chair with a great campus novel. There are certain to be many beyond this list, but those below all have one thing in common: they evoke a sense of being at a particular kind of college at a particular point in time.

Project MUSE - Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies - Feature Editors’ Introduction

Alan Marcus & Ron Briley, 'Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies', Volume 39.1 (2009).

Schools, teachers, students, and administrators are common subjects in film and television, and viewers share many school experiences—from sitting at desks in rows, trudging through homework, squinting at multiple-choice exams, and lugging textbooks to resisting exhortations from teachers and swooning at their compliments. But the messages about the quality of schools, the challenges of teaching, and the purposes of education vary widely. For most adult viewers, in fact, school is a distant memory, easily upstaged by depictions of it on the screen—depictions that soon shape their perceptions, beliefs, biases, and values toward education in general and toward school life in particular.
