Om Tim Connor Hits Trouble
Tim Connor Hits Trouble defies conventional genres.
It is funny, occasionally violent, intelligent,
controversial and full of sexual twists and turns.
We meet Tim Connor just as his marriage hits the
rocks and as he is about to 'escape' to a new job in the
Social Science Department at Wash University.
Far from finding tranquillity, Tim 'hits trouble' in
Wash both personally and at work.
Now 'on the loose' he has several interesting and
'unusual' encounters with women. At work, Tim finds
himself drawn into a conflict between an old rebel
academic, Henry Jones, and the ambitious Head of
Faculty, Howard Swankie that culminates in a tense
and dramatic climax.
Within the novel's lively narrative, characters argue,
sometimes angrily, over the direction of contemporary
higher education - making this a relevant as well as a
gripping and highly enjoyable novel.
