Angels Prostate Fall - Tapa dura

Professor Stanley Morris's orderly world of teaching, scholarship, and committee meetings is shaken when he gets the surprise so many men of his age dreada diagnosis of prostate cancer. In his struggle to keep his sense of humor, his identity, and his dignity, Stanley emerges as a sort of Everyman as he stoically makes his way through his physical and spiritual ordeal. Stanley's spirit, his loyalty to his wife and family and students and to his place in his university community are at the heart of this small gem of an impressionistic novel."

MARSHALL TERRY, a former department chair and associate provost at Southern Methodist University where he has taught for five decades, is the author of seven works of fiction, as well as numerous essays and reviews. He thinks of Stanley Morris as a distillation, like fine aged Scotch, of his own physical and professional experiences. Former president of the Texas Institute of Letters, Terry was honored by that organization in 1991 with the Lon Tinkle Award for "a career of excellence in letters."
