Philurius College Blues 

Dr. Vic Sawyer, the newly appointed director of Academic Affairs for the Philurius College Programs for the Military in Europe, encounters a nemesis of the highest order in the persona of his dean, retired Lieutenant Colonel Gio Malfatto. Aided by his alluring and ambitious Assistant Dean Doris Kink, Malfatto intends to make Vic’s life miserable. Unfortunately for these top administrators, Vic joins the fray with abandon, and the normally staid college is embroiled in the ensuing battle. This fosters a clash of cultures between an American academic subculture and a US military environment in Germany and throws in some true love and indiscriminate erotic intrigue to boot. Especially for those whose lives have touched this educational system, both military students and faculty, this satirical tale will bring both laughter and some head shaking, and perhaps a tear or two. Anyone who has enjoyed the college satires of Richard Russo, David Lodge, Kingsley Amis and Jane Smiley, will find in Philurius College Blues a kindred spirit but with a slightly different twist.
