The Dean's December, Paperback / softback Book

The Dean's December Paperback / softback

Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

Dean Corde is a man of position and authority at a Chicago university.

He accompanies his wife to Bucharest where her mother, a celebrated figure, lies dying in a state hospital.

As he tries to help her grapple with an unfeeling bureaucracy, news filters through to him of mounting problems left behind in Chicago.

Corde is troubled: at home the centre is not holding firm, in Eastern Europe authority is cruel and dehumanizing.
