Quote from Foreword Clarion Review of Farewell to the Good Old Days

“Deep nostalgia carries throughout the book [Farewell to the Good Old Days], particularly in scenes focused on [the narrator’s] early years, but the narrative journeys back to moments of action well, avoiding the biases of time… [the book provides] a behind-the-scenes look at academia, showcasing both the intrigue and the boredom of departmental life with insight and occasional humor… [the narrator’s] interactions with, and observations about, colleagues from other cultures are compelling, revealing the politics and distrust that are sometimes rampant in academia… Other characters [in the book] recognize the limitations of [the narrator’s] perspective with comments like, “This is how business is done in the Third World. You wouldn’t understand ”…” – Foreword Clarion Reviews
