Chandrasekhar, the celebrated professor of economics at Cambridge, is at a turning point. He has sacrificed his family for his career, but his conservative brand of economics is no longer in fashion, and yet again he has lost the Nobel Prize to a rival. His wife has left him for a free spirited West Coast psychiatrist and relocated to Boulder, Colorado. His son, a capitalist guru with a cult following, mocks his father's life work; his middle daughter, the apple of his eye, has become a Marxist and refuses to speak to him; and his youngest daughter is struggling through her teenage years with the help of psychedelic drugs. And then, the final indignity: He is hit by a bicycle and forced to confront his mortality. Professor Chandra's American doctor instructs him to change his workaholic ways and "follow his bliss"--And so he does, right to the coast of California, and into the heart of his dysfunctional family. Witty, charming, and all too human, Professor Chandra's path to enlightenment will enchant and uplift readers from all walks of life"-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a College teachers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Economics $x Study and teaching $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Midlife crisis $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a California $v Fiction. 650 6 $a EÌconomie politique $x EÌtude et enseignement $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Crises de l'aÌge adulte $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a ReÌalisation de soi $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Familles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Californie $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Self-realization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111892 650 7 $a Midlife crisis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020589 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Economics $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902224 650 7 $a College teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868114 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 655 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print Bill's bookshelf. 941 $a 1 $n 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240129101534.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E094236BEAF11EEA36E4455183FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
