God or Mamon at Saint Chinian University

Patrick Masterson

Patrick Masterson has ingeniously narrated a funny and comical story of Saint Chinian University and its unusual and strange study environment. Activities other than curricular take centre stage and pull the focus of the energies of all stakeholders. The university has been faring well with its genius setting of inclusion of part-time “mature students” of varying ages, but above thirty, who study and have amorous connections with the regular young students. However, the new president, Claire Macon, of the university has two challenging tasks of the inclusion of the adjacent Benedictine monastery of Saint Martin’s and the establishment of the Confucius Institute. The situation has awakened all the interest groups, campaigning for their desired results. Internal and external contradictions are at full play. Have the pleasure of reading this amusing, satirical and humorous story to know who wins the vote to secure their selfish and selfless interests in the Saint Chinian University.

About Author

Patrick Masterson

 

As Professor of Philosophy at University College, Dublin, Patrick Masterson enjoyed teaching both young full-time and mature part-time students. As president of both University College Dublin and, later, the European University Institute in Florence, he acquired broad, first-hand, and practical experience of issues that can convulse the tranquillity of the groves of academe! Besides his many academic publications, God or Mamon at Saint Chinian University is his second novel. He spends his time now between Dublin and a village close-by St Chinian in France.
