Elon’s notorious campus has
been immortalized in a book, and
it is not “The Princeton Review.”
Tesa Jones, 1972 graduate of
Elon, will be on campus Saturday
promoting her book “Cobwebs of
Time,” a novel set by the shore of
Lake Mary Nell.
“Anyone who has gone to Elon
caTi relate to this story,” Jones
said. “Anyone who has gone to
college an relate to this.”
1’hc story involves a pair of
bnithers who attend Elon in (he
early ‘70s. "Men have found it
n)uch more enjoyable than they
expccted from a hook with a rose
on the covcr." Jones said, "It is
lold IVDtii a man's pcrsjKtlivo.”
Much of the action in the story
lakes place by the lake, which
Jones calls "defiiiitley fundamen
tal."
“Half of the book is at Elon.
and Elon is really a character,”
she said. “As the story pr9gress-
es, the characters grow and the
campus evolves.”
The book also visits areas in
Burlington, Gibsjonville, The
Cutting Board and the forest
where the Greek courts are cur
rently located.
“Cobwebs,” which was pub
lished a year and a half ago, has
received critical acclaim in the
Mid-Atlantic region.
“When you write something
down, you put a piece of yourself
out there. 1 ve really enjoyed
good reviews from the press
about this book,” Jones said.
Jones, who was an education
major anti lived in .Staley and
Virginia dorms while attending
Elon, says she is enthusiastic to
visit the campus over
Homecoming weekend and sign
copies of the book in the campus
shop.
