First sentence: In late December 1996, I was sitting in a bar in Washington, D.C., with five or six other graduate students from the English department at Northwestern University.
Description: "Lang narrates the story of his first year on the tenure track with wit and wisdom, detailing his moments of confusion, frustration, even elation - in the classroom, at his writing desk, during his office hours, in departmental meetings - as well as his insights into the lives and working conditions of faculty in higher education today. Life on the Tenure Track will delight and enlighten faculty, graduate students, and administrators alike."--Jacket.
