Underwood, Scotch, And Wry [Paperback]

Whats in a Cats Name? In a book with a snarky anti-hero who teaches literature to the great unwashed youth of the day, there are bound to be a few literary references. Youll catch most of them&but&why did Arthur name the cat Maltese and why does he think its clever? Arthur Byrne is a protagonist youll root for despite your best efforts not to. His love of drink, age inappropriate women, and disdain for authority, are the top three reasons the president of the university wants him gone. Arthurs decades long writers block is the only reason he stays. Hes got nowhere to go. Wen Hu is an enthusiastic teaching assistant that doesnt get most of Arthurs jokes. Shes there to help, doesnt mind being called Lou, and isnt afraid of him or his snark. The Story Underwood, Scotch, and Wry is a humorous look at social media through the eyes of a Luddite college professor. Watch as Arthur and the dean engage in a angst filled battle to end (or save) his job. This humorous fiction will keep you turning the pages. If you like social media, blogging, and mockery, youll enjoy my first satire novel Underwood, Scotch, and Wry. And you just may be the first person who gets the Maltese reference.

Being a former non-computer nerd there was much to make me laugh! I may even try Twitter now!  Debbie J. W. With a salute to social media, the author presents a loveable scoundrel who entertains one page after page. Nicely done. H. R.
