Novel About Adjunct Abuse

Psychology Today, of all places, published a review of Fight for Your Long Day, which won the 2011 Independent Publisher's Gold Medal for Best Fiction from the Mid-Atlantic Region by Alex Kudera, available here. It is a $14.34 paperback day-in-the-life satire that follows the eventful misadventures of a college adjunct instructor who teaches at four urban universities. 

Though I recognize that this is satire and it is a novel, it appears to highlight how badly adjuncts are treated by universities. It is no secret that we are grossly underpaid, have no benefits and many work at more than one institution. It is also no secret that most law schools would not be able to operate without us because we are the only ones that have any useful experience.
