Like many who spend their lives in the ivory tower, I enjoy academic satires. That includes Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, the movie Wonder Boys, the TV show The Chair, and many books by David Lodge.
The most recent is Julie Schumacher’s Dear Committee Members, written as a series of recommendation letters from an increasingly cantankerous creative writing professor. Highly recommended for those who like this genre. For me, it was a great way to end the summer, as I prepare for my first class on Tuesday.
