Synopsis

Losing a high school basketball game shouldn't be the end of the world. The book is about students, parents, and teachers dealing with the ordinary challenges of academic life: Homework, tuition, athletics, superintelligent computers, the disposition of the planets, submarine warfare, the probable extermination of life on earth, and lousy cafeteria food. Set in present-day Newburyport, Massachusetts, The God-Damn Fool tells the story Dr. John Harriman of Garrison Academy private boarding school. Budget cuts at the school have gotten so severe that Harriman, a pretentious Latin instructor, is forced to become coach of the school’s basketball team. Had the old man not already enough troubles dealing with his gout, his Vietnam War wound, mild Tourette’s Syndrome, three failed marriages, bursitis, psoriasis, morbid obesity, the disrespect of his peers, the insolence of his over-bright students, the steady rise of politics in the academe, and his outlandishly aggressive dog? Now he must lead an undermanned, spastic team of incorrigibles in a sport he knows nothing about, and try to stay on the good side of his best player’s father, the mayor of the city.
