- Synopsis
- Benjamin "Chappie" Puttbutt, a black junior professor at the overwhelmingly white Jack London College, lusts after tenure and its glorious perks (including a house in the Oakland Hills). He spends most of his time trying to divine the ideological climate of the school and obligingly adapting his beliefs to it. When Puttbutt's mysterious Japanese tutor, who promises to teach him Japanese by spring, suddenly becomes the school's new president and appoints Turning every contemporary political and social movement on its head-from feminism to nationalism to jingoism-this boisterous and irreverent novel manages to be by turns hilarious and totally serious.
