A propos de cet article

The author of the highly explosive and wildly entertaining Uncle Nick: Diary of a Misanthrope is at it again, and this time Nick Tyrella fires a full salvo at his targets, firing for effect. Being a successful Thirty-Something bachelor, Nick Tyrella has come to experience the joys and freedoms of being marriage-free, child-free, and obligation limited. Nonetheless, being a misanthrope and a womanizer cursed with a High IQ, Mr. Tyrella tends to burn a lot of bridges in the wake of his Machiavellianism. With all of his friends retiring to suburbia and having scorched through most of the young women in his hometown, Nick decides to go back to school at Shillington College as a 'mature' student for the youthful parties, drugs, and of course the hot women. The one caveat though in Nick's plan is that in order for him to stay enrolled he must maintain a standard GPA, and do the bare minimum to avoid academic probation. Being very ritualistic when it comes to his essay writing, Nick will get belligerently drunk at bars and clubs to then come home and hammer out an assignment the night before it's due. Stepping into his dormitory suite, with only the smoke from his cigar to fill the void in the air, Nick will hang modern society up on a hook and punch it into submission using his laptop. He is a scathing-sermonist, a master-debater, a titan of tirades, and an alliteration-abuser. The contemptuous blows and cutting critiques leave certain academic topics to the vultures with every stroke of his keyboard, and every bit of harsh reality that Nick shows through his prose. His essays have come to challenge Shillington's standards, culture, tolerance level, and what it considers 'critical thinking', 'open-mindedness', and 'free speech' to be. Life is Nick's bibliography. Experience is his research. Booze is his fuel to burn the midnight and to see the dawn of his 'academic' creations. These are his essays.…
