| Publisher Description: A Crisis in Community College Leadership: The Phillip Dolly Affair is literary in development but grounded in "chaotic" community college daily experience. The novel is comic, satiric, quasi-politically correct, edgy, and richly descriptive of community college life, leadership foibles, and cultural themes. This hyperbolic text is entertaining, edifying, and fun. Little community college fiction-comic or otherwise-exists-the authors are fearless in their humorous-and sometimes biting-- analysis of community college culture.... The "stereotype-busting" authors reacquaint readers with the faded] ideals of the 1960's social renaissance. While community colleges are currently receiving heightened attention, this novel provides a behind-the-scenes analysis of many "whispered truths," those simmering but unspoken workplace issues, behaviors, and machinations nearly every worker Everyman] in America will recognize. |
