About

Combining the wit of David Lodge with Poe's delicious sense of the macabre, these are three witty, spooky novellas of satire set in academia-a world where Derrida rules, love is a "complicated ideological position," and poetic justice is served with an ideological twist.

Reviews

"Entirely delightful . . . wickedly funny . . . There hasn't been a genuinely adroit novel of academic manners since Randall Jarrell's Pictures from an Institution."
Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World
"Original, droll, startling . . . Witty and penetrating: Hynes creates pungent satires of academic life while at the same time infusing them with genuine suspense and real terror."
Kirkus Reviews
"A perfect blend of dark comedy and the ghost story, reminiscent of the best of T. C. Boyle and the best of Poe."
David Treuer, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune
