About the Book

Clabough's rough-and-tumble road to academia reminds me in places of my own. Wrought in a stately prose and devoid of sentiment, this wise book coaches us on how to keep on going even when we're at our lowest ebb. -Harry Crews Schooled is one of those rare books that tumbles out of a genreless or cross-genre void. Read closely, it reveals a being filled with pain and haunted by a nightmare, yet infused with a heaping portion of courage which never allows him to succumb. Hell, I wish Casey Clabough had been one of my professors. -Barry Hannah What makes the teachers and professors we've encountered hated, loved, or simply forgotten? How are the most memorable ones formed into those creatures who have challenged and shaped our minds and beliefs, building up or demolishing our dearest notions? What are the things inside such beings which drive them to cultivate their minds, relentlessly contemplate the world, and care enough to impart what they have learned? English professor Casey Clabough offers unique perspective on these questions and others in recounting a powerful series of unlikely people and incidents from his own formative school years which conspired, against all odds, to shape him into a college professor. Clabough is not your father's or mother's professor; perhaps he is not even the kind of teacher to which you would elect to subject your child or yourself; but his passion for life his infectious, his experiences indelible. Whether lamenting the haunting demises of two brilliant schoolmates; emulating or struggling against the values of his groundbreaking academic feminist mother ("The Skeleton Woman"); interacting with coaches good, bad, and related; savoring the sweet pleasures and hard pains of teenage delinquency; or courageously confronting his own mortality; Clabough offers an account consistently surprising, moving, and transformative, ultimately offering the moral that how a professor, or anyone, gets "schooled"-indeed, how we all truly learn and are shaped by our experiences-has almost nothing to do with book-learning and everything to do with living.
