Opis

Sean McDuff, a middle-aged English professor at a small liberal arts college near the Everglades in south Florida, is depressed, disgusted, and dying. Two years ago his loving wife passed away suddenly. His profession is infested with administrators trying to impose a business model operating system on a college culture he still somewhat enjoys. And he has been recently diagnosed with a terminal disease, and given about a year to live. What to do? His festering soul just too far gone, Sean buys a powerful car bomb from an old Army Reserves acquaintance and plots a suicide mission to blow up his school's administration building during a board of trustees meeting on St. Patrick's Day. Riddled with darkly comic episodes, dashes of radical environmentalism, monsters real or perhaps imagined, and outrageous truths, The Culprit is a quirky testimony to the enduring potentials of life, love, and the pursuit of sanity.
