At 56, Xavier Orion disrupts the staid halls of a community college with his unvarnished honesty, challenging complacent norms and "weaponized civility." His journey of self-rebuilding unfolds as a "violent comedy," where he navigates ageism and societal pressures, choosing unwavering authenticity over conformity. Witness his defiant stand against a world demanding silence, proving it's never too late to embrace one's true, unapologetic self. Comparable works include Straight Man by Richard Russo
