In Richard Russo's Straight Man, William Henry Devereaux, Jr., an unconventional English department chair at West Central Pennsylvania University, navigates a chaotic week filled with absurdities and personal revelations. From contemplating the execution of a duck to confronting his unfaithful father at an abandoned amusement park, Hank's humorous yet poignant journey reflects deep connections with family and the complications of academia. With sharp wit and insight, Russo masterfully explores the struggles of a man who balances his flaws with a profound appreciation for knowledge and relationships.
