    “The funniest, saddest, kind-of-truest tale of another beleaguered midwestern faculty member in an underfunded department (with serious remodel envy of more prosperous departments) all told through letters of recommendation that become more honest and more unhinged over the course of the book. A perfect end of term read!”

    “An epistolary novel that’s 100% sassy and 0% sweet.”
