स्वीकृत मानदण्डों की दृष्टि से पूरी तरह तर्कसंगत और प्रासंगिक नहीं होने के बावजूद ट-टा प्रोफेसर हिन्दी उपन्यासों में विशिष्ट दर्जा रखता है। दरअसल दास्ताने अलिफ लैला की शैली में यह ऐसी उत्तर-आधुनिक कथा है, जिसके अन्दर कई-कई कथा निर्वाध गतिमान है, सीमित कलेवर में होने के बाद भी कहानी पूरे उपन्यास का रसास्वादन कराती है। ट-टा प्रोफेसर एक पात्र की ही नहीं, एक कहानी की भी कहानी है। ऐसी कहानी जिसका आदि और अन्त, लेखक के आदि और अन्त के साथ होता है। प्रेम और काम जैसे अति सम्वेदनशील विषयों को केन्द्र में रखकर लिया गया यह उपन्यास मजाक को भी त्रासदी में तब्दील कर देता है। कहीं 'कॉमिक' कामुकता में परिवर्तित होता नजर आता है, लेकिन जीवन और मर्म की धड़कन निरन्तर सुनाई पड़ती रहती है। सत्य, कल्पना और अनुभूति की प्रामाणिकता और भाषा के सहज प्रवाह के चलते कथा पाठक को आद्यान्त बाँधे रखती है। अपने विलक्षण लेखन के नाते जाने-जानेवाले मनोहर श्याम जोशी ने एक सामान्य प्रोफेसर को केन्द्र में रखकर रचित इस कृति में अपने कथा-कौशल का अद्भुत प्रमाण दिया है। उपन्यास के मुखर स्वारानुसार काम मनुष्य को 'कामुक' से अधिक 'कॉमिक' बनाता है और अस्तित्व को एक कॉमिक-कामुक और कॉस्मिक त्रासदी बना देता है।

The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.
