Anyone
ever engaged in teaching, whether as
student or teacher, will find this novel
fascinating. Also, the erudite input of
knowledge and argument, from black holes
to reincarnation, will keep the reader
turning the pages of this fascinating
account by a British first-year teacher
in the ’sixties, who tells of how he
overcame the underhand resistance of
‘redneck’ teachers and wins the favour
of faculty and students at an
independent secondary school in rural
America.
