Title: Chinatown inside a liberal arts college!!!!!
Review: Prose manages in The Blue Angel to turn gender politics into a speculation on human nature and the inability of any of us to really understand anyone else. Our hero Professor Swenson is an eminently reasonable and understandable guy, introspective as hell, if perhaps more naive than he ought to be (especially at his age). His path through this book is similar to many noir detective mysteries, since while he is quite clever about many, many things that happen to and around him, the end proves that he never had a clue about anyone else's motives. Prose cleverly argues from the other side of political correctness via her mysterious "conspiracy theory" view of campus life.
Is the review positive or negative?
