Randy Boyagoda’s upcoming novel “The Lords of Serendipity” cuts deep into the world of higher education. The book explores a fictional story of a Sri Lankan village girl who dreams of going to Harvard and a middle-class American girl whose life has been designed to get her into an elite liberal arts college.

Host Jacob Shymanski catches up with Randy to contrast the importance of higher education with its absurdities, exploitations and false promises.
