Ross Chapman recounts the panel discussion, “Reading the Election”, in which the drama of this election cycle was connected to literature.

As the weather gets colder, the balance in your bank account gets lower, and going anywhere further than your suite’s bathroom gets more exhausting, heading to 1020 on a Friday night is not as enchanting a prospect as it may have been earlier in the semester.
