PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG
by Brian D. Meeks (Author)
What's in a Cat's 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. You'll catch most of them...but...why did Arthur name the cat Maltese and why does he think it's clever? Arthur Byrne is a protagonist you'll 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. Arthur's decades long writer's block is the only reason he stays. He's got nowhere to go. Wen Hu is an enthusiastic teaching assistant that doesn't get most of Arthur's jokes. She's there to help, doesn't mind being called Lou, and isn't 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, you'll enjoy my first satire novel Underwood, Scotch, and Wry. And you just may be the first person who "gets" the Maltese reference. (Note: If you do, just email me and I'll send back another of my novels your choice]) Praise for US&W: "Absolutely fabulous wit and dialogue." - M.W. "Thoroughly enjoyed this book. 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.
