Every book I read by Richard Russo impresses me anew with his command of writing. He can make me laugh in one sentence, and tug at my heartstrings with the next. Anyone who's worked in an academic environment will recognize the characters, the personality conflicts, and the petty political posturing going on in this story. A joy to read!
