Albert Corde is a professor of journalism and dean of students at a Chicago college or university. He and his better half, Minna, happen to be Bucharest, Romania, where Minna's mother has suffered a stroke and it is lying down semiconscious in the neighborhood state medical center. As Corde attempts to adapt to life in his mother-in-law's small apartment and handle her relations and friends, information filters through to him of problems he left behind in Chicago: one of is own students has been murdered, and some articles he is writing offends powerful and influential Chicagoans he previously regarded as friends. Steadily it becomes clear that Corde's trip in foreign countries is more than a simple interlude in a calm and orderly life, and this nothing will ever be the same again. Witty and erudite, The Dean's December will be a delight to admirers of Saul Bellow.
