The Old Man's Revenge Joseph Schwarz

The Old Man's Revenge takes place in a university art department in the South. The principals are four painters coping with their artistic legitimacy and their personal and professional lives. The department is in crisis as the long-time founder and head is retiring. There ensues, as often happens in academe, a political struggle for leadership with an unexpected culmination. The four painters, too, find deserved resolution in their work and in their personal lives.
