Description

A farcical political satire set amongst the ancient colleges of Cocksford, this novel follows Ivan Thommson as he navigates the world of university politics to avoid being expelled. After plagiarising an essay, Ivan is advised to run for Union President, giving him a year away from coursework and gaining value for his CV. As Ivan rises through the ranks, he must contend with the consequences of his past actions and the wrath of those he has wronged. A wealthy developer helps him cheat his way to the top, but Ivan's weakness for money, power, and luxury may ultimately be his downfall. This humorous tale explores the darker side of ambition and the corrupting influence of power, offering a witty and satirical look at university politics and the excesses of privilege.
