Editorial Reviews
Review
“For a generation fed a narrow and cynical diet of celebrity, narcissism, miserabilism and sensationalism, McCall Smith offers a philosophical feast. In a sated world, he has identified a new kind of hunger.”
–The Scotsman
“Although McCall Smith’s narrative gifts and splendid voice are on fine display in almost all of his published fiction, they might be best suited to the entertainingly ridiculous tales contained in these three volumes. These are books meant to be read and reread, and appreciators of humour à la P. G. Wodehouse are advised to make the adventures of Prof. von Igelfeld a permanent part of their literary collection.”
–The Globe and Mail
“These collections of interconnected stories are gentle farces, somewhat similar in tone to E. F. Benson’s Lucia books (which happen to be great favourites of McCall Smith). The world of the institute, like Lucia’s English village of Riseholme, is a small and privileged one, and, as in those books, it is a place where much is made of nothing – to great comic effect. The humour is heightened, of course, by the lofty formality with which the professors address one another, even as they’re thinking the basest thoughts.”
–The New York Times Book Review
“McCall Smith happily pushes every scene to its Monty Python-esque limit.”
–The Georgia Straight
“Alexander McCall Smith possesses a seemingly limitless imagination.... McCall Smith finds plenty
to poke fun at in the halls of academe, a setting fraught with ego-driven battles for power and prestige.”
–Chicago Sun-Times
Book Description
Welcome to the extraordinary world of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, an unnaturally tall and memorable character whose sublime insouciance is a blend of the cultivated pomposity of Frasier Crane and Inspector Clouseau’s hapless gaucherie. The complete exploits of this unlikely adventurer are delightfully captured in The 21?2 Pillars of Wisdom.
