Love books about college professors (English ones) and their acerbic attitudes, and Gone by P.F. Kluge is another in a long line of such. Found it compelling reading for about 90% of the way through, until the bottom fell out at the end and the book lost all credibility for me. Too bad, because until then it was amusing and interesting, a story of a famous author hired by a small Ohio college who never writes again. And that was okay by him.
