Professor Fairweather Hits the Skids

Professor Fairweather Hits the Skids, Volume 1, follows the unexpected downfall of Robert Fairweather, an Associate Professor of Russian History. After a brief promotion and a sudden ejection from Brooklyn Quintessential University, Robert finds himself adrift in the volatile economic landscape of 1970s New York City.

As he faces near-poverty, Robert must search for any occupation, even those far removed from his academic background, to keep himself afloat. Set against a backdrop of urban decay and financial instability, Professor Fairweather Hits the Skids, Volume 1, serves as a dark humor exploration of professional displacement and the struggle for stability in a changing world.
