|---|
"Think about it: You're an anonymous walk-on who every Saturday wears the uniform of the college football team of your boyhood dreams. A total stranger presents you evidence of your head coach selling out to a wealthy bigot. What would you do?
Think again: You're that same man, a student of English, who toils away as a tutor. You meet the stunning woman of your fantasies. One problem: she's faculty. What would you do?
Read Wise Fools.
