Morty Guggenmoose

Morty Guggenmoose’s memoir of his days as a graduate student in the Department of Pontifical and Pathological Philology at Life of the Mind University stands as the most visible result of his long pursuit of academic respectability. His career as a Horace scholar so far has been, to say the least, undistinguished. But he plods on, ever mindful of the Horatian dictum 'Not everyone can be rich.'

Speechless: A Life of the Mind University Mystery is a rich and comical story by a truly tormented academic.
