Straight Man by Richard Russo First Jane Smiley came out of the comedy closet with Moo, a campus satire par excellence, and now Richard Russo has gotten in on the groves-of-academe game. Straight Man is hilarious sport, with a serious side. William Henry Devereaux Jr., is almost 50 and stuck forever as chair of English at West Central Pennsylvania University. It is April and fear of layoffs--even among the tenured--has reached mock-epic proportions; Hank has yet to receive his department budget and finds himself increasingly offering comments such as "Always understate necrophilia" to his writing students. Russo, the author of the novels Mohawk, The Risk Pool, and Nobody's Fool, is interested in more than generating laughter, and Straight Man strikes me as one of the funniest serious novels since--well, maybe since Portnoy's Complaint
