Description
American Fraternity Man is an intimate portrait of a young man struggling to become the right kind of professional, while also coming to terms with the harsh financial and political realities behind the ambitious mission statements and corporate philosophies. Set within a broad panoramic of the national fraternity world, American Fraternity Man offers a humanizing look at the individuals who live and breathe Greek Life, while also giving an unrivaled glimpse at the power, potential, and absurdity of the National Fraternity/Sorority business.
Through both text and illustrations, Nathan Holic offers the very human story of one young man’s longing for morality and purpose in a world he simply has not been prepared to understand.

Advance Praise
"In a transnational tour of the college scene, it's Man versus the Fraternity World, and even the parents are too drunk to drive. Nathan Holic offers a fast-paced and multifaceted look at campus Greek culture and what it might take to effect change from within." --Alex Kudera, author of Fight For Your Long Day (Atticus Books)
"Nathan Holic writes with the precision and confidence of a true badass. Hide your valuables and DIG IN." --Lindsay Hunter, author of Daddy's (featherproof) and Don't Kiss Me (FSG)
"The culture of Greek Life is both skewered and embraced in this take-no-prisoners coming of age novel from debut author Nathan Holic. Here, you'll meet one character who has reached the conclusion that goodness is just and that evil is easy to spot. But for Charles Washington, the dynamic hero of this compelling story, right and wrong are slippery things. In the end, it's a pleasure to tumble into Charles' world, even as we watch that world pulled out from under him. American Fraternity Man is, at once, satire and seriousness itself. But, more than anything, it is a compulsively readable book, a thrilling ride, beginning to end." --David James Poissant, author of The Heaven of Animals (Simon & Schuster)
