The Shakespeare Requirement
The Shakespeare Requirement - Julie Schumacher

This is a follow up to Dear Committee Members, which I loved.  Fitger has been elevated to department chair and is struggling to bring the English department together in order to survive the incursion of the Economics Department.

 

Dear Committee Members was very nearly sublime in its satire and sneaky humanity; this one ... not so much.  The Shakespeare Requirement is a standard narrative (as opposed to the epistolary form of DCM), and while still funny and heavily satirical, it just falls flat.  It also lacks any clear plot, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say there's no clear story arc.  I suppose there's a climax, but it's not really much of one, and there's very little to no emotional punch.

 

All of this sounds like I'm tearing a strip off the book and that's not my intention; I enjoyed it for the humor and the connection to the characters - I never found myself bored or wanting to put it down.  It just didn't have the same grip as its predecessor and if asked, I'd definitely recommend Dear Committee Members but would likely suggest skipping this one, or at least preparing for it to be a different read altogether.

Reading progress update: I've read 320 out of 320 pages.
The Shakespeare Requirement - Julie Schumacher

Just finished it, and of course it's time for bed, but I wanted to at least put this placeholder here this time before rolling again to see what my new book will be.

 

TL;DR; version is: it's good, but not nearly as arresting and funny and tragic as the first one Dear Committee Members.
