Witty Look at Academic Life

This book is so funny. Anyone who has been a college student, faculty member, administrator, staff, or maintenance person will get a chuckle - no, many, many chuckles - from this witty account of a senior professor who is accused of shameful behavior among the stacks in the library. He keeps wishing he had been accused of murder instead because it would have been more interesting and less embarrassing. He starts to believe himself guilty, even though he knows he didn't do it, because the accuser "has no reason to lie." This Kaskaesque-but-funnier book is a fast and delightful read.
