The Graduate (novel)
''The Graduate'' is a 1963 novella by Charles Webb, who wrote it shortly after graduating from Williams College. It tells the story of Benjamin Braddock, who, while pondering his future after his graduation, has an affair with the older Mrs. Robinson, the wife of his father's business partner, before falling in love with their daughter, Elaine. The novella was adapted into the highly successful iconic 1967 Oscar-winning film of the same name, directed by Mike Nichols, with Dustin Hoffman in the title role and Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson. Webb has stated he never felt comfortable with the attention the film brought him because he felt it distracted from his status as a serious artist. He did not receive any royalties from the film and has stated he is glad it happened that way. On the episode of the AMC television series ''Movies That Shook the World'' devoted to the film adaptation, Webb revealed the identity of the real-life inspiration for Mrs. Robinson: Jane Ericson (spel ...

Background and production The album was released more than three years after the gold-selling '' Fires'' and marks a change in the musical genre for Pallot.

The Graduate (band)
The Graduate was an American indie/emo band from Springfield, Illinois.

Lead singer Corey Warning said of the band's name, "None of us graduated from college. Well, we all graduated from high school, but none of us from college, so the name's kind of ironic."
