About the Book

An entertainingly satirical vision of today's academy, in which a woman academic lands, with her cat, in a university, largely populated by males. Hisland takes place in a fictional universe—the Islands of Ac-Ac, whose pride and joy is the educational institution of Ac-Ac U. Into this traditionally male world fall the narrator and her feline companion. Their attempted integration into this dystopian world leads the reader on a self-conscious and role-questioning journey.
