Possibly it's Miss Rigg's fault. If it hadn't been for Miss Rigg appropriating his room during his lunch period, Mr. Kessler would never have suspected her of stealing his things. There wouldn't have been any reason to plot with Mr. Wood to surreptitiously videotape her classes. Wood wouldn't have started telling him all those tall tales about his old school, and Kessler probably wouldn't have secretly recorded their conversations. And if Wood hadn't talked so much about Kay, Kessler wouldn't have been so desperate to meet her, and he might have remained invisible forever.... For 40 years, Mr. Kessler has taught English in the Philadelphia school system the way he knows best: Keeping his head down, not making waves, and counting down the minutes before he's home enjoying a few generously poured martinis. But a series of new acquaintances and bad decisions in his final year before retirement brings his world crashing down around him--tragically and hilariously.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Buy this book. Now! By Ellen E. Kaye You don't have to be a teacher to love this first novel by a retired high school teacher. Sure it draws on Adelman's bizarre experiences in the Philadelphia public school system but the quirky humor and terrific writing are definitely for everyone. At least everyone with a sense of humor and a taste for the outrageous. Bit of a slow beginning, and maybe that's purposeful; because Teacher Tales builds up to a wild crescendo as the bizarre-- and laugh out loud -- quotients increase. Let's hope we haven't heard the last from Adelman. He's a sly writer, with a laid back style and an ability to create unforgettable characters in surreal situations.

Great Comical and Satirical Teacher's Romp By Craig Sonnenfeld I couldn't wait to get home to continue reading this book during the week that I read it. This is a fictional story about the adventures of a teacher going through the career motions of dealing with kids everyday so that someday he will be able to retire. A fairly embittered and depressed main character, Kessler barely makes it through the day at school every day so he can get home to start drinking. The author, Mr. Adelman has a great satiric sense of humor and an absurdist bent which seems to be influenced by Kafka (in fact 'Metamorphosis' is one of the books that Kessler teaches to his less than enthusiastic students). The climactic chapter in the book (no spoilers here) had me laughing out loud. A fine, entertaining and humorous piece of fiction.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Some knock-down funny stuff that had me laughing out loud By Joseph G. Biscontini I just ordered three additional copies of this book from Amazon to give to friends. All of them happen to be educators, and, while there are some "inside teaching" moments that provide added richness to the story, this novel is broad enough to appeal to anybody who has ever been to school. This is an inventive and perceptive chronicle of an isolationist/minimalist teacher who, maybe, stumbles into what he sees as a sort of redemption. Some knock-down funny stuff that had me laughing out loud, and the darkly comic moments when you are not quite sure for whom to cheer are clever, plentiful and rewarding. A fast and funny read with an unforgettable cast of teachers, school administrators, high school kids, and one especially memorable parent.
