Can anyone recommend a book with a grant writer as the protagonist? I'm trying to take on this reading challenge (ignore the fact that I'm apparently several years behind, I've just learned about these lists).
At first glance, it looks like the item that's going to give me the most trouble (aside from having to stomach a self-help book) is "A book with a protagonist who has your occupation." I am a grant writer. My usual grant-writer research skills seems to be failing me. Can anyone help me find a book (I'm assuming fiction, as "protagonist" doesn't quite fit nonfiction) that "stars" a grant writer?
Bonus points for university grant writing, although any nonprofit would be fine with me. (I've been thinking of Sam Lipsyte's The Ask as a last resort, because at the very least the main character works in a university development office--although I don't and never will deal with individual donors.)
