"Wise and hilarious and heartbreaking."--Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls
"The perfect back-to-school novel for cynics...Entertaining and bittersweet." --The Washington Post
The bestselling author of Dear Committee Members and The Shakespeare Requirement completes her hilarious trilogy of academic mishap by chronicling the beleaguered Professor Fitger as he chaperones Payne University's annual "Experience: Abroad" to London and beyond, with eleven undergrads in tow.
Among his charges are a claustrophobe with a juvenile detention record, a student who erroneously believes he is headed for the Caribbean, a pair of unreconciled lovers, a set of undifferentiated twins, and one young woman who has never been away from her cat before.
Through a sea of troubles--personal, institutional, and international--the gimlet-eyed, acid-tongued Fitger strives to navigate safe passage for all concerned, revealing much about the essential need for human connection and the sometimes surprising places in which it is found.
