Blue Angel is a novel by Francine Prose, published in 2000. The story follows Swenson, a creative writing professor at a small liberal arts college, who becomes infatuated with one of his students, Angela Argo.
As Swenson becomes more and more obsessed with Angela, he begins to jeopardize his career and personal life. Angela, meanwhile, is manipulative and deceptive, using her sexuality to get what she wants.
The novel explores themes of power dynamics, sexual harassment, and the dangers of obsession. It also delves into the world of academia and the politics of higher education.
Blue Angel has been praised for its sharp social commentary and incisive portrayal of complex characters. It was a finalist for the National Book Award and has been recommended for anyone interested in contemporary literature, feminist literature, and social issues in academia.
