Opis

The Man With the Grasshopper Mind is a satirical romp, a burlesque of gender politics in the groves of academe. Dr. Douglas Ian MacPherson (Mac) is a professor at Daventry University. In his role as a scientist, he understands rats, though not, apparently, women. He begins by clashing with Dr. Naomi Gelsey-Ashdown of the Department of Women s and Gender Studies, goes on to offend every female on campus, and ends by alienating the affections (such as they were) of his wife. Even Mac s colleagues don t care to know him, and aside from his dog, he has only one good friend and true his marriage counselor and drinking companion, Dr. Yeti Bahnjakris."
