Frentz (communication, U. of Arkansas, Fayetteville) gives an account of his discontent with academic life, going as far back as his childhood to provide background about his quest for happiness. He describes his adolescence, graduate education, rise in the academic ranks, professional disappointments, and problems with colleagues and friends, while critiquing academic culture and its dissociation from emotion and using the figure of the trickster to describe his rebellion against it. He also recounts his cancer diagnosis and the loss of his wife. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Communication scholar Tom Frentz uses the survival strategies of Native American iconic emotional autoethnography of striving for quality through the worlds of academia and medicine.


How do academics survive the bureaucracy, the petty jealousies, the absurdities of operating in the university? More important, how do they, as humans, cope with the darker shadows that enter professional lives-- illness, sorrow, death? Coyote, The Trickster, a well known figure in the American Indian world, is also the icon for communication scholar Tom Frentz. Frentz uses the survival strategies of The Trickster in his articulate, amusing, and often emotional autoethnography of striving for quality through the worlds of academia and medicine.

Arvustused

'This is a powerful, compelling book that is destined to have a seismic impact. It will be widely read, partly for the critique it offers of the forces that diminish life and learning within the world of the academy, partly for its story of a rebellious life lived on the margins of that world, and partly for the joy, anger, and tragedy of the personal life it reveals. Beyond these factors, the book is simply one hell of a good read: I can't remember when I stayed up so long beyond bedtime with an academic book simply because I could not put it down.'
