Straight Man. (1997)
Fun and flippant novel about tenured university arseholes and their academic wankery and chicanery. Spoilt fucking shithead babies the lot of them. You meet some of the absolute WORST fucking dickhead people in these places.
I can safely say that the author must have loved the telly show "M*A*S*H" when he was younger. I say that cos all the dialogued conversations between the main character and anyone else in the book sound just like Alan Alda's cynical glib arsehole character "Hawkeye" talking to another Hawkeye. NEVER a serious answer, just being a flippant sarcastic dick.
Oh shit, "Lucky Hank", the telly show with Saul Goodman. Book version was the base for that but book is way better than the telly show.
8/10
