Summary
'An academic novel and a novel of ideas, served up cheerfully and heroically by a very talented writer who doesn't care if both these genres are out of fashion . . .You shouldn't either.'
—Ptolemy Tompkins, author of The Modern Book of the Dead
AMAZON REVIEWS:
- 'Literary humor at its best.' —Petra Barnett
- '...the book is a sort of love letter to philosophy, Plato in particular.' —Mike Smith
- 'You don't have to know Plato to enjoy it, but you will discover something of Plato in reading it...' —Laura Stevens
A Footnote to Plato takes place in 2012 at a tiny liberal arts college in Vermont.
A senior philosophy professor finds himself embroiled in a student drama that leads to a false accusation of sexual harassment and an investigation intended to force him out. He faces a disgraceful end to his long career unless he retires immediately. But he refuses to be, as his students like to say, an epic failure.
A promising math student resorts to dealing coke to pay for college. What he really needs is a bit of luck.
The professor and student meet in the Maintenance Committee and soon form a Socrates-Plato bond. When the professor decides to take him and a small group of students to Greece to film an online lecture series, it's an opportunity of a lifetime for the student, and the professor's last chance to save his reputation—and maybe leave behind a legacy.
