Steven Fletcher

Steven Q. Fletcher (Grad ’96) has published a new book, Notes from Underground 2.0, a modern reworking of the major themes of social alienation and individual freedom found in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s groundbreaking novella. The plot only loosely corresponds to that of the original Notes from Underground, although Dostoevsky’s structure and other formal and thematic elements are echoed. Mr. Fletcher is also the author of the novel,The Disciple of Beauty: A Philosopher’s Tale of Love, Tragedy, and Transcendence, which Literary Fiction Book Review proclaimed “a whirlwind immersion in all the great works of literature that devote themselves to the fundamental questions; it is a philosophical rumination on love and life and surviving them both; it is a witty and ofttimes humorous exploration of the human condition.”
