Kind of rough – watch a man deteriorate one failure at a time, all the while listening to him blow kneejerk liberal sanctimony at every turn. Paul’s been demoted from senior lecturer to adjunct. His daughter is turning 12 and checking out of their relationship. He has to move in with his 80-something mother – and she’s started watching the fictional stand-in for Fox News. And then things get worse!
The short chapters kept me turning (swiping) pages.
I didn’t much like one of the subplots where he starts boinking a high-level employee at the faux Fox News, pretending to be a conservative misplaced in academia, in order to gain access… to what, for what? But it turns out to be key.
