Her dissertation on pioneer housewife memoirist Beulah Crump-Withers is about to be published, and her job's finally safe, if she only can fill out her AAO properly. She's a little anxious, but a new floral blouse and her therapist's repeated assurance that she is the architect of her own life should fix that. All should be well, really. Except for her broken washing machine, her fickle new girlfriend, her missing friend Coral, her backstabbing fellow professors, a cutthroat new dean - and the fact that the sentient and malevolent Crawley Hall has decided it wants them all out, and the hall and its hellish hares will stop at nothing to get rid of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike an unholy collision of \u003ci\u003eStoner\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Haunting of Hill House\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCharlie Brown\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e, this audacious new novel by the Giller Prize-longlisted Suzette Mayr is a satire that takes the hallowed halls of the campus novel in fantastical - and unsettling - directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The momentum of this novel, which I read in two delightful days, comes from the pile-on of absurd tragedies--how could things get any worse? Suzette Mayr taking care to immediately answer the question. And yet it's so funny, and the energy, and the satire of campus bureaucracy is so spot-on and delicious that I would never ever call this book that goes down-down-down anything like a downer.
