The Last Speaker of Skalwegian

Set against the backdrop of a quirky revolving restaurant, the story follows Professor Lenny Thorson, a linguistics teacher grappling with a troubled past. His childhood in a junkyard with his father and the haunting guilt of having accidentally killed a fellow boxer shape his character. Lenny's obsession with word derivations adds a unique layer to his personality, while his current life at a subpar college, complete with a gerbil mascot, highlights his struggles and eccentricities.
