Description
Newly appointed professor Dee P. Scrutari turns her anthropological gaze on the tribe of males who dominate St. Jude''s, a prestigious Jesuit liberal arts college in the northeast United States. When she can''t get a straight answer to her question of what happened to the previous occupant of her freshly painted office, she teams up with a band of colleagues marginalized by the college-a liberation theology nun, a gay priest, and a Jew-to find out what evil lurks in the department of religious studies. A feminist spoof at once funny, sobering, provocative, and full of affection for the academic world, this book is as brave and unflinching as Dee P. Scrutari herself.
