On her fortieth birthday, and the anniversary of her fathers death, she is visited by his disapproving ghost during a class discussion of Hamlet. She then experiences a panic attack which causes her to walk out in the middle of class. As her father continues to visit her, Hannah seeks mental health advice from a slew of odd characters, including Crazy Larry, a jaded old veteran of the community college system, Elvira, a clerk at the Health Forever store, Rainbow, an off-balance yoga instructor, and Dr. Whitehouse, a lackluster therapist with problems of her own. Playing Hooky is about the anxiety we experience in middle age as we see our options dwindle and our dreams crescendo from a soft murmur to a deafening roar. Its about the promises we make to ourselves and the bargains we strike with others.</p>...2487155Playing Hooky8282https://www.gandhi.com.mx/playing-hooky-9781519952691/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3314152/adb651db-3f1a-4449-9331-45567b7ac3c0.jpg?v=638809170054900000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20159781519952691_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_<p>Hannah Kirkwood, a frustrated painter and writer, has been teaching at Keefer Community College in California for ten years.
