Russo, Richard Straight Man: A Novel
Vintage June 9, 1998 0-375-70190-7 / 9780375701900 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover: First Jane Smiley came out of the comedy closet with Moo, a campus satire p ar excellence, and now Richard Russo has gotten in on the groves-of-academe game. Straight Man is hilarious sport, with a serious side. William Henry Devereaux Jr., is almost 50 and stuck forever as chair of English at West C entral Pennsylvania University. It is April and fear of layoffs--even among the tenured--has reached mock-epic proportions; Hank has yet to receive hi s department budget and finds himself increasingly offering comments such a s "Always understate necrophilia" to his writing students. Then there are h is possible prostate problems and the prospect of his father's arrival. Dev ereaux Sr., "then and now, an academic opportunist," has always been a high -profile professor and a low-profile parent. Though Hank tries to apply William of Occam's rational approach (choose simplicity) to each increasingly absurd situation, and even has a dog named after the philosopher, he does seem to cause most of his own enormous difficulties. Not least when he grabs a goose and threatens to off a duck (sic) a day until he gets his budget. The fact that he is also wearing a fake nose and glasses and doing so in front of a TV camera complicates matters even further. Hank tries to explain to one class that comedy and tragedy don't go together, but finds the argument "runs contrary to their experience. Indeed it may run contrary to my own." It runs decidedly against Richard Russo's approach in Straight Man, and the result is a hilarious and touching novel.
