Story
One fine day, an elderly professor of literature, Grady Tripp, is struck by a series of troubles: in the morning his wife leaves him; in the afternoon, his publisher comes to him for seven years in vain waiting for the completion of his new opus; and in the evening he learns from the dean Sarah Gaskell that she is pregnant from him. And all this against the background of the literary festival, where writers gathered (one of them is Kew), who openly boast of their success. And then his best student James Lear, an inexhaustible dreamer, threw problems: he shot the dean’s dog, who attacked the professor, and, as it turned out later, he also stole the famous Marilyn Monroe jacket from her wardrobe.
