President Pouncey's first novel

Rules for Old Men Waiting, the debut novel by President Emeritus Peter Pouncey, has been published by Random House this month. The novel, described by the publisher as “a brief, lyrical novel with a powerful emotional charge,” centers on Robert MacIver, a Scottish historian, and a tale of World War One. The novel has received praise from such luminaries as Frank McCourt (“a deeply sensual, moving, thrilling novel”) and Norman Mailer (“Mr. Pouncey writes with enough style and elegance to bring envy into the heart of many a good novelist”). Pouncey is going on a book tour to promote the book in May and June.
