Soon she is diverting money from the English Department to set up a brothel and plotting the blackmail of prominent politicians. Even the cunning Portia, however, hasn’t reckoned on the students’ ability to create enough mayhem to ruin her plans—especially when they discover a wartime arms cache beneath the college. Readers of this black satire on English education in the tradition of Tom Sharpe will never look at jacuzzis in the same way again.
