"Fiercely alive, marked by a sharp, unerring eye for detail and a wonderful way with metaphors."--Toronto Star
At a psychiatric hospital in the eighties, patients formed what they called The Adjustment League to protect themselves against the depredations of a corrupt and abusive staff. Many years later, the leader of this group--a man known only as "The Super"-- receives a letter leading to the discovery of a pornographic ring in need of "adjustment."
