"Wilt's problems never end. Perhaps because he is gifted with an incredible talent for getting mixed up in the most awful messes without even realising, and a no less admirable ability to escape those who surround him with the innocent agility of a snake. Now, the polytechnic where he works has been upgraded to university status, but Wilt earns the same as before, less even; he is undervalued as he is not a professor, and yet he keeps teaching the eternal proletariat as always."
