This is the second in Smith's series about the German professor of Romance Philology, Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld. This short quick collection of antics follows Dr. von Igelfeld in his quest for fame and respect - which often, if not always, results in embarrassing and cringe-provoking situations. Dr. von Igelfeld is an unmarried man, and several of the silly stories revolve around him trying to find a partner, or single woman chasing after him. I think he and Amelia Bedelia are soul mates. If you're in the mood for the ridiculous, The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs is absolutely perfect.
