Since the professor in charge, Mr Kubik, suffers from intestinal colic , the conversation has to take place in the toilet. While the professor is sitting on the toilet struggling with his intestines, Brunner standing in front of the toilet door and being overwhelmed has to endure sometimes unpleasant questions and present his résumé.

Reviews

"How, never been raped? What do you want to tell the people?" Snapped the dismissing selection agent at the young man. It's all incredibly humiliating and abstruse. And lives from a very unique gesture, which comes across as a depressive modification of the Python humor. "
