A literature professor at a prestigious college is completely confused in life: problems are growing like a snowball, a new book is not being written, his mistress is pregnant, his wife has run away, and even a student-tenant has her eye on him. Isn't it too much for one person, considering that news and events are concentrated in a very small period of time - just one weekend? But there would be no happiness, but misfortune helped. Having survived the excitement of a wild weekend, the renewed professor enters another vibrant and inspired phase of his life.

The novel "Geeks" became the magnificent literary basis for Curtis Hanson's Oscar-winning film starring Michael Douglas.
