Farnoll College Tales Mary Carmen

Farnoll College is a work and study program that sends American students to the planet of Farnoll to work in the fabulous resorts. In 2114 the Dean of Admissions offers a prize of $50,000 for the best story from a graduate about experiences before, during, and after the writer's experiences at Farnoll College. Ten stories are presented for the judges. These stories include tales of poverty, illegitimacy, murder, prostitution, and abandonment. They also include a few happy endings. One man tells how he worked in the College's offices, managing its complex network of interplanetary communications. Ten imaginative illustrations by Liz Elsby are a special feature of this book, with some showing the charming, congenial Farnollian natives.
