description: This is a brilliant, burning-cool satire on the decline of Western culture. The action takes place largely in a university setting, and the antihero is a professor who knows the academic system only too well. But we are not dealing here with an academic novel in any traditional sense. Rather, the campus and the business orientation of the administration -- even its soi-disant scholarship -- comprise a devastating model of where our culture is headed, in fact of where it already may be.
