SYNOPSIS:
It is
1967, and Larry Gopnik, a physics professor at a quiet Midwestern
university, has just been informed by his wife Judith that she is
leaving him. She has fallen in love with one of his more pompous
colleagues, Sy Ableman, who seems to her a more substantial person
than the feckless Larry. Larry’s unemployable brother Arthur is
sleeping on the couch, his son Danny is a discipline problem and a
shirker at Hebrew school, and his daughter Sarah is filching money
from his wallet in order to save up for a nose job. While his wife
and Sy Ableman blithely make new domestic arrangements, and his
brother becomes more and more of a burden, an anonymous hostile
letter-writer is trying to sabotage Larry’s chances for tenure at
the university. Also, a graduate student seems to be trying to
bribe him for a passing grade while at the same time threatening
to sue him for defamation. Plus, the beautiful woman next door
torments him by sunbathing nude. Struggling for equilibrium, Larry
seeks advice from three different rabbis. Can anyone help him cope
with his afflictions and become a righteous person – a mensch – a
serious man?
