I found it enjoyable - especially since I went to Cornell, and thus
had an inside feel for it. It is a fantasy, although it's not
labelled as such (I believe it's thrown in the general "fiction"
category by the publisher). Definitely worth a read, IMHO.
Brief synopsis: Fool on the Hill is a story about a young writer who
has chosen to stay on in the city where he went to college, how he
finds love, and his struggle against a growing inhuman evil. The cast
includes students at the college (his friends and acquaintances), the
dogs who roam the college, a race of fairies who also use the campus as
their school & home, two Ithacops, the ocassional appearance by a
heavenly being, a succubi of a less-destructive nature, and many, many
more.
