The Lecturer's Tale
by James Hynes
Nelson Humboldt is a visiting adjunct lecturer at prestigious Midwestern University, until he is unceremoniously fired one crisp autumn morning. Minutes after the axe falls, Nelson's right index finger is severed in a freak accident. Doctors manage to reattach the finger, but when the bandages come off, Nelson realizes that he has acquired a strange power-he can force his will onto others with a mere touch. And so, with a brush of his finger, he obtains an extension on the lease of his university-owned townhouse and picks up two sections of freshman composition, thus saving his career from utter scholastic ruin. Soon these small victories seem inconsequential, and Nelson's finger starts to burn for even greater glory. Now the Midas of academia wonders if he can attain what every struggling assistant professor and visiting lecturer covets--tenure. A wonderful, pitch-perfect blend of satire and horror, a Faustian tale of the terrors of academe, James Hynes's new novel confirms his reputation as a storyteller of rare and hilarious gifts.

From the publisher: The Jossey-Bass Series In Higher Education. More than any other issue in higher education, tenure, with its guarantee of life-time contracts, urgently needs reevaluation. Tenure is being attacked; many critics say it should be abolished altogether. This new book reveals that there is much truth in the criticism. It also reaffirms that tenure is still of major importance to higher education -with many changes needed. Faculty Tenure is the full report and recommendations of the Commission on Academic Tenure in Higher Education. The book (1) examines the operation of the tenure system, (2) evaluates criticism of tenure, (3) considers alternatives to tenure, and (4) makes detailed recommendations for improvement and modification. .
