This video provides a glimpse into Bleu Mobley's 10th book, The Phenomenology of Lint. In order to increase his chances of getting tenure at the state college, Bleu decides to go for a doctoral degree at a University Without Walls. He wrote The Phenomenolgy of Lint shortly after completing his PhD and his most immersive period within the world of academia. The premise of his protagonist's doctoral degree: if a society can be judged by the way it treats its prisoners, perhaps an individual, family, or even an apartment building can be better understood by its laundry lint. Using volunteer residents of her apartment complex (in Queens, NY) as her population base, Sultana Farook compares lint specimens with oral histories only to discover hidden truths and unexpected friendships.
