Raj is a person of Indian descent who teaches at a small college. He also belongs to a tennis club. This story is about the difficulties of being a nonwhite in America at the same time as it is about the common struggles most of us in the middle class share. This in itself is an important part of the story.
This is not an action novel, Raj goes through trials, but it is not a story of death and peril. He is simply a man trying to make his way through life with his own foliables tripping him up. He accidentally makes a racist joke. In order to be a challenging, inspiring professor, he makes some comments that students get upset about.
Yes it is about the state of colleges censorship of ideas. It is also about the current problem in America of the movement to keep America white. But at its core it's about a man coming to terms with the choices he makes and the choices are made for him.
