The Shakespeare requirement

The Shakespeare requirement / Julie Schumacher, 308 pgs.

Payne University...the name says it all.  In a follow up to "Dear Committee Members," our erstwhile hero is now the head of the English department.  Jason Fitger is moving on from the  letters of recommendation to leading a group of amazingly quirky colleagues.  The  department is still under attack from the Econ department who has had their floor completely remodeled but would like more space.  The political wrangling and backstabbing is fabulous but stay for the writing.  Julie Schumacher is a genius with words and I laughed out loud several times.  Fitger is confronted with something that seems weird even to him but his disbelief is conveyed with the most low-key manner I can do nothing but appreciate the author. A very enjoyable read.
