Blue Angel

Short description

Deliciously risque, this bestseller by the author of "Guided Tours of Hell" offers a withering take on modern academic mores, a scathing tale of colliding cultures that vividly shows just what can happen when academic politics crash head-on with political correctness.

Long description

It has been years since Swenson, a professor in a New England creative writing program, has published a novel. It's been even longer since any of his students have shown promise. Enter Angela Argo, a pierced, tattooed student with a rare talent for writing. Angela is just the thing Swenson needs. And, better yet, she wants his help. But, as we all know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. . . .

Deliciously risqué, Blue Angel is a withering take on today's academic mores and a scathing tale that vividly shows what can happen when academic politics collides with political correctness.
