William Henry Devereaux, Jr., is the reluctant chairman of the English division of a badly underfunded faculty within the Pennsylvania rust belt. Devereaux's reluctance is partly rooted in his character–he is a born anarchist–and partly in the truth that his division is extra savagely divided than the Balkans.
In the middle of a single week, Devereaux may have his nostril mangled by an offended colleague, think about his spouse is having an affair together with his dean, surprise if a curvaceous adjunct is attempting to seduce him with peach pits, and threaten to execute a goose on native tv. All this whereas coming to phrases together with his philandering father, the dereliction of his youthful promise, and the ominous failure of sure very important physique capabilities. In brief, Straight Man is traditional Russo—side-splitting, poignant, compassionate, and unforgettable.
