The Janitor's Classroom
Paperback
(Richard Johnson May 7, 2018)
A Distinguished Professor of Philosophy achieves his greatest success while employed as a night janitor at a large city hospital. His careers in both academia and custodial service strongly influence nearly everyone he encounters, from callow students to fellow professors, business acquaintances, and accomplished surgeons. From his pursuit of “cosmic conundrums” to his attacks on hospital acquired infections, few are spared from the aftermath of a George Jackson encounter. His home near the university campus is his laboratory where his experiments encompass anything that catches his fancy — from hummingbird solicitation, to a working cotton gin and a mini art gallery to entrap the unsuspecting. With a persona comprised of equal parts humor, gravitas, empathy and irreverence, Dr. Jackson connives to extract the best from his acquaintances. Friends, colleagues, former students, and young lovers all find themselves inexorably drawn into the Jackson vortex — a force radiating far beyond the confines of classroom and hospital.
