Thanks. My life in academe gave me material for 10 crime novels, got me invited to a conference at Oxford, garnered me my first NYTBR review and much more.
I'm glad it spoke to you! My mother was a teacher as was her father and so is my brother. My two aims growing up were to be a writer and to teach and both came more than true.
Premium snark! I love it!! Sure am glad I'm not teaching anymore.
Me too.
Spot on!
Thanks!
So true! Love it!
Thanks!
I know you have personal experience with academia, lol! Very funny and a delicious cringe ratio.

Hilarious. Devastating satire.
Thanks! It was fun to write.
Loved it ! Sounds so contemporary and indicative of the U.S. both inside and outside of academia.
Sad but true.
Ha! A fun spoof of academia.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes, adjuncts are often better qualified than tenure-line faculty. I organized a successful union of untenured college faculty. Best wishes! Janet
It's a corrupt system.....
Brilliantly put Lev. As an English teacher, I truly appreciate this!

Aha! I must admit, it was the same for me! T.Llew Jones was a great influence on me growing up- I wanted to be just like him.
Freaking hilarious, Lev! Was academia always this preposterous or are we just old?
Like publishing, it's gotten crazier while we've gotten saner.
As a veteran adjunct writing instructor, I can attest to the accuracy of your description. Well done!
