Poetic Justice
Poetic Justice | Amanda Cross
6 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Student riots have ravaged the distinguished New York City university where Kate Fansler teaches. In the ensuing disarray, the survival of the university's plebeian stepchild, University College, seems doubtful. President Jeremiah Cudlipp is snobbishly determined to ax it; and as sycophantic professors fall in line behind him, the rally of Kate and few rebellious colleagues seems doomed. It is a fight to the death, and only a miracle--or perhaps a murder--can save their beloved institution. . . . From the Paperback edition.

Anna Karenina appears …

Amiable Isn‘t it neat when that happens? I remember coming across a reference to “Clarissa” when we were reading that and thinking “Yes! I get it now!” 😄 1w

Resurrecting an old series I read way back when.Published in 1970, it is dated, but full of witty repartee. A nice throw back to a different time.

When she isn't professing literature at Columbia, Kate Fansler is solving upper crust crime. When she was't writing these fun academic mysteries, Amanda Cross was Carolyn Heilbrun, professor of literature and critic of note. #funfridayphoto.

KimHM Oops, I just read the Litsy description. I must have just imagined the university was Columbia 😁 8y
