Ghosts in the University and Other Stories from the Life of Dr. Tirzo
(Profe vulgaris)
Fernando Ortiz Lachica
Tirzo is a character tainted with cynicism, a relentless neurotic with the charm of anti-heroes. In every episode of this character’s life, Fernando Ortiz Lachica emphasises the absurdity of being a university professor in a country just like Mexico, but in a light, amusing way.
Delighted and incredulous at a time, the reader will witness the adventures of a Profe vulgaris who does not hesitate to exhibit the institutional bureaucracy, the sheer unscrupulousness, and the indifference towards an educational system that promotes the every man for himself mentality.
Ortiz Lachica delivers a work on which all the attributes of an outstanding storyteller shine through, while achieving an honest and sharp depiction of reality, far removed from both fads and political correctness.
