Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel

Here it is, just what the 100,000 fans who bought Barry Trotter and the Shameless Parody have been waiting for: the inevitable and thoroughly hilarious sequel to the bestselling spoof of the Potter phenomenon. Not wild about Harry? Or just had enough of the hype? Try Barry, who, having saved the Hogwash School of Wizards from the unwelcome attention of Hollywood, is now ready to move on. He has married Ermine Cringer and they now have two relatively delightful children. The eldest is a skilled magician, but the youngest just seems to lack that conjurer's touch. Have Barry and Ermine given birth to...a MUDDLE? Michael Gerber, a writer whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, Playboy, The Wall Street Journal, and on Saturday Night Live, once again produces a parody that will have readers--regardless of their views on Harry Potter--laughing uproariously.

Barry Trotter is 22 and has never left the Hogwash School of Magic - there's been no need; after all, G.K. Rollin's books about him have made him a millionaire, and Barry is perfectly happy to while away his days as a perpetual (loaded) student. The hoardes of Muddles who hang around outside Hogwash desperate to see him, touch him, are a bit of pain but he can deal with that. But then comes news that Hollywood is planning a film of Rollin's first book about Barry. And they all know what that means: loss of creative control; cheap merchandising; millions more Muddles swarming over Hogwash. Barry agrees a plan with Bumblemore: the film must be stopped. BARRY TROTTER AND THE SHAMELESS PARODY is an incisive and hilarious parody of the Harry Potter phenomenon. There are slyly affectionate digs at the books themselves but Gerber's main scorn is directed at the monster that the Harry Potter franchise has become. The book has a creative energy all its own introducing characters and a hilarious take on magic that even J.K Rowling might appreciate.

Hart Fox may not have the pedigree to be a shoo-in at Stutts, a prestigious Ivy League school, but he has the grades and the résumé. And he does make it in—sort of. His acceptance is hijacked by Burlington Darling III, a wealthy alum who is so desperate to get his hapless son, Trip, into Stutts that he funds a new boathouse. Darling offers to get Hart a spot in the freshman class, and pay his way, if Hart will take all of Trip’s classes for him. Despite this deal with the devil, Hart arrives on the Stutts campus jubilant. But what awaits him is a strange parallel universe of secret societies, inexplicable traditions, and class hierarchies. Soon, Hart finds himself aligned with the outcasts at an all-but-defunct school humor magazine, where a journalistic stunt catapults him into a mad, escalating guerilla war with the Darlings. With threats of death—and worse—expulsion looming over him, Hart must rely on his wit, and the aid of some very exceptional friends, to save him.

Completely reworked and updated, the third edition of Business Reorganizations is uniquely designed to make learning the Chapter 11 process an engaging, challenging and fun experience. The book is organized into ten chapters, each concentrating on a different phase of the attempt to rescue the fictional, financially beleaguered Amphydynamics Corporation and its related companies. 
This storyline runs the length of the book, and gradually unfolds in many problems and notes within each chapter. The problems direct reading of the opinions and other materials by placing issues in context. They help students to understand the commercial transactions and business environment that form the backdrop against which the Chapter 11 drama is played out. They introduce an ensemble of characters possessing conflicting and shifting loyalties, interests, and attitudes, and who reveal the human dimension of the Chapter 11 process. The problems also focus attention, heighten interest, and bare some ethical dilemmas by inviting students to role-play - to think like clients as well as lawyers - and to negotiate, advise, and strategize. 
Business Reorganizations provides professors with the flexibility to pick and choose materials they feel deserve emphasis in their individual courses. Purposely comprehensive and encyclopedic, this book is designed both as a tool for law school and as a resource for practice. Extensive textual notes following the cases provide the reader additional explanation and expansion of the themes expressed in the cases, are comprehensive enough to serve as mini-treatise; so giving the book an extended shelf life.
