Book Title: The Straight Man
Author: Richard Russo
Selection Statement:
The book provides a tongue-in-cheek look at academia that is only too real at the non-University Park campuses. It provides insight into a humbly appealing lifestyle—not the most prestigious one, at least from an R-1 university academic perspective—but one whose after-work racquetball games, leafy, decked, edge-of-town houses, and kind, patient characters demonstrate they have their priorities straight.
