Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson

CNN.com - ‘Graduate’ author to write sequel - May 31, 2006

Elusive writer Charles Webb said Wednesday he has signed a publishing deal for a sequel to his 1963 novel “The Graduate,” which introduced the memorable love triangle of twentysomething Benjamin Braddock, his sweetheart Elaine and her seductive mother, Mrs. Robinson.

The 1967 film adaptation made a star of Dustin Hoffman and created a screen icon in Anne Bancroft’s Mrs. Robinson.

Decades on, Webb is ready to reveal the characters’ fate.

“It was quite a while till I could figure out what they did next,” he said.

“Home School” picks up the lives of Braddock and Elaine about 10 years on, living in upstate New York with their two children and trying to keep Mrs. Robinson at bay.
