Professors and Other Misfits: Tales from Academia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781438928999)

It is generally believed that university professors lead highly intellectual, dull lives. Without denying that, Professors And Other Misfits looks at another side of faculty existence: A newly appointed distinguished scientist uses his influence to hire a young brilliant African-American, who soon finds himself involved with a student ... Another catches a young man cheating on an exam, and sets in motion a series of events that lead to an attempted murder and an unexpected death ... A fastidious professor is shackled by his obsessive punctuality until an obese, unattractive female student leads him to unveil a devastating memory within himself ... How can a devoted scientist erase from his mind an inexplicable event that everyone witnessed, but no one else believes? ... A priest commits an unpardonable sin ... A retiree's isolation moves him into a new world with which he cannot cope.
