It is generally believed that university professors lead highly intellectual, dull lives. Without denying that, Professors And Other Misfits looks at another side of faculty existence: A newly appointed distinguished scientist uses his influence to hire a young brilliant African-American, who soon finds himself involved with a student … Another catches a young man cheating on an exam, and sets in motion a series of events that lead to an attempted murder and an unexpected death … A fastidious professor is shackled by his obsessive punctuality until an obese, unattractive female student leads him to unveil a devastating memory within himself … How can a devoted scientist erase from his mind an inexplicable event that everyone witnessed, but no one else believes? … A priest commits an unpardonable sin … A retiree's isolation moves him into a new world with which he cannot cope.
