Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, amid cow pastures and waving
fields of grain, lies Moo University, a distinguished institution
devoted to the art and science of agriculture. Here, among an
atmosphere rife with devious plots, mischievous intrigue, lusty
liaisons, and academic one-upmanship, Chairman X of the
Horticulture Department harbors a secret fantasy to kill the dean;
Mrs. Walker, the provost's right hand and campus information queen,
knows where all the bodies are buried; Timothy Nonahan, associate
professor of English, advocates eavesdropping for his creative
writing assignments; and Bob Carlson, a sophomore, feeds and
maintains his only friend: a hog named earl Butz. In this
wonderfully written and masterfully plotted novel, Jane Smiley
offers us a wickedly funny comedy that is also a darkly poignant
slice of life.
