In this darkly satirical send-up of academia and the Midwest, we are introduced to Moo University, a distinguished institution devoted to the study of agriculture. Amid cow pastures and waving fields of grain, Moo's campus churns with devious plots, mischievous intrigue, lusty liaisons, and academic one-upmanship, Chairman X of the Horticulture Department harbors a secret fantasy to kill the dean; Mrs. Walker, the provost's right hand and campus information queen, knows where all the bodies are buried; Timothy Monahan, associate professor of English, advocates eavesdropping for his creative writing assignments; and Bob Carlson, a sophomore, feeds and maintains his only friend: a hog named Earl Butz. Wonderfully written and masterfully plotted, Moo gives us a wickedly funny slice of life., NATIONAL BESTSELLER * From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Thousand Acres comes "an uproariously funny and at the same time hauntingly melancholy portrait of a college community in the Midwest" ( The New York Times).

- s***e (44)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book, "The Unbreakable Brain," is better than "as described". It looks like a brand new, unused book in excellent condition, which makes it a super value for the cost. It was shipped in a protective package with free shipping, yet another super value! I am incredibly pleased with this seller, and they even sent me a coupon to buy four and get two books free. That's a fantastic gift and quite generous! Thank you for being an excellent seller!
- 4***4 (3230)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFast seller shipping & received in less than a week. Well packed & protected in a sturdy box with 11 other books I ordered. The book, "The Ultimate Ocean Facts for Kids, Teens & Adults" is a soft bound chapter book that asks questions, gives interesting facts, & encourages additional reading. As described, the book will be perfect to spark interest in the classroom. Great eBay find & purchase at a super value price. Highly recommend this seller.
