For people who have read my novel, or whoever

I was recently made aware of a play written by a young alumnus from my school with the following plot:

"Torn between the demands of his fraternity and the truth of his sexuality, a closeted actor must decide whether to trust his heart or give into the societal pressures that threaten his relationships with his boyfriend, his brotherhood and himself. Filled with music, humor and romance, [title redacted] probes the themes of Black masculinity, sexuality and true friendship while exploring the sacrifices required for loving oneself in 21st century America."

The description is very, very, similar to the plot of my novel. The only difference from this snippet is that his main character is an actor. Mine is your average slacker. lol

The playwright attended my college immediately after my novel was released. I was well known to the undergraduates as a "notable" young alum and received an award from the Black Student Alliance primarily because of the book. The playwright was a sophomore at the time.

My book was in the campus bookstore and in a few other "free" collections around campus.

I don't recall having ever met the guy.

He is also a member of a fraternity.

I have sent a message to my mentor who is also on faculty at the college to ask for his advice.

What do you all think?
