Title: A rollicking good read
Product review: It's been awhile since I read a book so funny, so poignant, and so hard to put down! Russo skewers academic life, but gives the impression of someone who has truly been there, unlike Jane Smiley's Moo. Smiley is a good caricaturist and an excellent observer, but Russo knows that our institutions of higher learning are full of real people whose foibles need not be exaggerated to be farcical. I recommend this great story to anyone with a sense of humor, and if you've ever taught at the college level, you simply must read this academic satire. It's so much more than a conventional mid-life crisis story.
