Russo, Richard Straight Man
London Vintage 1998 0099376210 / 9780099376217 Mass Market Paperback Very Good
391pp. Minor wear, creasing, unmarked. 'At age fifty, Professor William Henry Devereaux, Jr, has more than a mid-life crisis to deal with. As a child, his parents found him merely exasperating. As an adult, and interim chair of the English Department, he is careening out of control. Half in love with three women, unable to understand his daughter or come to terms with his father, Hank has a dangerous philosophy that life, even an academic life, could be simpler, and that endless discussions and negotiation might profitably be replaced by provocation or simple extortion. He is a man in thrall to the perversity principle.' [115]
