A student emailed me yesterday to note that somehow — in the blurb department of Baylor UP (for whom I commended my mentor and absent colleague Richard Hays’s recent book) or at Amazon — my identity was contorted so as to represent me as “A. K. M. Adamb” who teaches at Bowdoin College. Contrariwise, I lack the distinguishing “b” that marks the notorious Adamb clan from the lowlands of Fredonia, whose wayward scion Alexander Kermit Montogmery Adamb teaches in the Political Honesty department at Bowdoin. I will alert Baylor of their mix-up forthwith.
