Straight Man by Richard Russo

2.0

This book took me a while to get into. Hank is a very sarcastic and overly aloof character and getting to know him was a bit frustrating. After 50% of the book, his life became more eventful and he seemed easier to bear, if not likeable. Overall this was an interesting read full of university politics and the thoughts and the thoughts and world view of Hank, a middle aged, straight man.
