Varying Degrees of Hopelessness - Softcover
In a dull edifice in London lurk some sad souls devoted to the study of art history. Hampered in this endeavour by an evil librarian, limited job opportunities, outside pressures, their own indifference to art, and an inadequate cafeteria, teachers and students battle on as best they can.
