Academic Pursuits (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798572569209)

Gary had the perfect job, the perfect wife, the perfect dog, indeed, it was the perfect life, and yet, somehow, he was making a perfect mess of it all. Being a high-ranking professor of journalism at his university put him in the awkward position of not only needing to know the truth but also to share it. He was getting a reputation for having a big mouth. Teaching that kind of idealism to his students was getting harder when his superiors were watching his every move and hoping he wouldn't notice their shenanigans. They were ready to go to any lengths to keep him quiet, and he was ready to fight back with the almighty powerful pen, and a bunch of scrappy students.A hilarious romp through the ivory towers of a state university, inspired by not so true events, fantastically unrealistic characters, and completely fabricated names and places-"wink, wink". Sprinkled with Merge-Matics like "Night of the Living Dead Poets Society: A mid-career professor in the humanities continuously re-lives the same poor performance in the classroom, as much to his own chagrin as that of his students." This is the first work of fiction by the legendary Dr. McXtinction, a.k.a., Guy McPherson. Written over two decades ago, this second edition is sure to entertain and maybe even inspire.
