Perhaps the easiest scene to write in Bias Incident: The World’s Most Politically Incorrect Novel was the one in which our narrator Jeff attends orientation.
In my research for the book, I came across the below video. Using it as a guide, the scene practically wrote itself. The video, entitled “Think What We Think…Or Else: Thought Control on the American Campus” is shocking.
After writing the scene, I began to edit. The chapter began looking cartoonish and unrealistic. My editor had the same impression of the scene.
The funny thing is this: Orientation at my fictional Tinsley College was less manipulative than a real orientation at a real college. Yet my writing seems over-the-top.
But that is what the left is doing on college campuses.
Satire is dead.
