About the Book: A penniless actor accepts an unusual job from university professor Dr Blend: to sit inside an oversized black bag during a series of lectures as part of a psychological experiment. What begins as a bizarre campus role soon spirals into unexpected relationships, academic obsession and commercial possibilities. As a post-humanism professor questions whether love can exist for someone hidden inside a bag, the actor’s childhood friend sees an opportunity to profit from the situation. Luke Kennard’s Black Bag is a darkly comic campus novel exploring masculinity, identity, love, academia and human connection.
