This is a deeply philosophical novel. But, is the book here, or is it not here? And to paraphrase an old Shelly Berman joke, And if it is (or isnt), then why is it here (or not here)? (In the book, the discussion centers on a cow.) He narrates a tale of a student at Cambridge who journeys from his comfortable environment to marry and teach at a grammar school. Certainly here is a book for pedants everywhere.

Slow & confusing; little substance
