Before the worldwide revolution reaches New York City, Carmela is trapped in the Tombs jail for years. With friends new and old, Carmela organizes a nucleus of rebellion that connects everyone inside to reach together for the ultimate demand, freedom.

This is one of our first stories without an interview format. It’s a bit unconventional in switching between perspectives, but more in the style of narrative prose of any other Everything for Everyone/Project 2052 story. It works beautifully

"Of the campus lit I’ve read, Kingsley Amis’s LUCKY JIM and Bernard Malamud’s A NEW LIFE are the funniest, John Williams’ STONER is the most poignant, and Vladimir Nabokov’s PNIN is the most playful. JERRY AND RODRIGO GO TO WAR brings together the best of each of these."
