"If only Bernard Malamud had taught at Montana State or Idaho State -- anywhere but Oregon State -- there could be little concern in Oregon that his new book is being well received by critics and readers. But in Corvallis, all academic freedom aside for the moment, there may be some who will wish to burn 'The New Life.' For it is a biting novel about the campus experiences of a frustrated New Yorker on the faculty of a mythical state college in Oregon."
