The Velvet Undergrad

“That was the year, my twenty-eighth, when I was discovering that not all of the promises would be kept, that some things are in fact irrevocable and that it had counted after all, every evasion and every procrastination, every mistake, every word, all of it.”
— Joan Didion, “Goodbye To All That”

Alone in his apartment, a young man begins to dictate a message to…someone. Maybe it’s an attempt to right a past wrong, maybe it’s an attempt to sort out his life. Probably it’s both.

THE VELVET UNDERGRAD is a comedic confession, a meditation on love and death, home and failure and grace, and the hard work of becoming whole.

And if that sounds too serious, take heart: there are plenty of dirty jokes.
