The year is 1995. Hugo Duchamp’s life is in turmoil. Bullied at school, abandoned by his parents, and living in the attic belonging to his rigid grandmother, the future appears bleak. And then everything changes. Over a long, hot summer, for the first time, Hugo falls in love with both a person and what will become the other passion in his life: the righting of wrongs. But it comes at a price and he finds himself in mortal danger. He must fight for his survival and for those he loves.

The Professor Will See You Now takes the listener on a journey into a depressed mind fortified by expert fieldwork in our everyday apocalyptic world. The result is a uniquely construed and no doubt politically incorrect perspective on the contemporary zeitgeist. Over the course of five stories and an equal number of essays, the listener encounters the tragic apotheosis of positive psychology, love of learning and unlearning, homages to Jane Smiley and Richard Rodriquez, as well as tales of trekking and travel, cinema, and crime (both true and untrue).
