Summary
On any given day, Ben Butley, a self-made train wreck of an English Literature professor, can shrug off everyone and everything with equal ease. But today, the disaster of Butley's proudly misspent life threatens to dwarf even his cynically fatalistic non-expectations. Arriving at his cramped cave of an office, Butley is informed that his adored protege Joey is moving in with another man, his estranged wife is re-marrying, and his seemingly untalented colleague has been published ahead of him
