Professor Emeritus of English Lawrence E. Hussman has published his fifth book, Acanemia: A Memoir of Life in the Halls of the Higher Learning.
It is described as an “irreverent appraisal of America’s higher education players—administrators, faculty, and students.”
As a Wright State University English faculty member from the mid-sixties, Hussman was in a position to observe how the university’s achievements and impact were too often “retarded or subverted along its historical way by certain actions and inactions for which the administrators and faculty shared substantial responsibility.”
As a memoir, Hussman writes, the books begins with his own formative intellectual experiences and moves on to a life centered on his role as a professor and literary critic.
