'Academic Lunacy' from Author Winegardner

By Steve Inskeep

Published January 11, 2003 at 12:00 AM EST

Mark Winegardner's new book of fiction, That's True of Everybody, collects 13 short stories about oddball denizens of "rectangular states." But the college prof doesn't spare his own profession. He dubs a trio of those stories "Tales of Academic Lunacy." Winegardner speaks with NPR's Steve Inskeep.
