Editorial Reviews

Review
"Psychogenic Fugue" is a funny and extremely witty book about the ironies and misrepresentations of college. -- The Lumberjack, March 6, 2002

Farrell/Morrow are alarmingly correct in their hilarious analyses, especially from the commonly cynical point of view of college students. -- Daily Nebraskan, March 11, 2002

Stylistically, UPF is perhaps most similar to the written comic delivery of Dave Barry ... -- Daily Californian, April 4, 2002

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars 9th Year Senior!, March 5, 2002
If you are reading my review then you're probably looking for that final kick in the pants to convince you to add this lovely piece to your cart. Don't think TWICE! I am telling you, whomever YOU are, that UPF is the the purest form of hilarity. When was the last time that you read something that made your guts bust wide open (in the pleasant-est of ways)?
However, this book is not only a catalyst for giggly to gut-popping laughter, it's a conversation piece. Reading this book on the bus, on a park bench, at work...people start asking you questions..."Are you thinking about going back to school?" Ah, yeah. Since UPF is right down the street, it won't be a bad commute...BR>With humor, the authors address the current state of affairs of the education system and culture, be it pop or otherwise--and what we, the reading, laughing, thinking audience get from these 240+ pages is beautiful, hilarity.
Oh, and i think laughing a lot does great things for your abs! I learned that at UPF!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical college catalog, November 30, 2002
Anyone who has attended college or looked at a college catalog will laugh out loud as they browse through the course catalog for the "University of Psychogenic Fugue". A totally fictitious university the satirical catalog includes a history of the college, course listings and descriptions, clubs, awards, crime statistics, admissions information and everything else that you would expect in a real college catalog.

A good example of the strength of the satirical style would be the Hysterical Blindness Award. A student scholarship, it is awarded to two students who "simply convince themselves that the world doesn't have any problems. Award is very similar to how the United States of America refuses to officially recognize the nuclear capabilities of countries it doesn't like." Or perhaps a little information on one of the clubs would be a better illustration. How about the Future Corporate Raiders of America? They "conduct hostile take-overs of other campus groups, fire all the old members and sell their club equipment back to the University. Predatory instinct and lack of humanity required."

A thoroughly enjoyable read it is highly recommended for those that enjoy satire and parody. Pick up a copy today and have a good laugh at a course catalog for real life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unforgettably droll., March 30, 2002
By Bob Harris "Sparky" (Tuscaloosa, AL) - See all my reviews
An engaging, humorous, and fast-moving read....Farrell and Morrow waste no time before slicing open middle-class academic life....An affectionate sort of sarcasm flavors their treatment of both its foibles...and its virtues.

I found this hard-to-put-down book wise, revealing, and very funny. I can finally finish my degree at UPF and only have to go into a minor amount of debt this time around.
