Why Shoot the Teacher - Braithwaite, Max

Clean, tight, unmarked; two light creases to spine; light crease to upper back inside corner; name and date blacked out on half-title page; age tanned; otherwise very minimal wear; Why Shoot the Teacher is both a caustic and an amiable account of a young man's first collision with reality - an ill-paid teaching assignment in an isolated Saskatchewan country school district during the Great Depression. The young man is Max Braithwaite. While Why Shoot the Teacher is perhaps Braithwaite's best-loved book, full of warmth and riotous humour, it's also a telling evocation of the de-humanizing desolation wrought by the "Dirty Thirties."
