Hume's Fork is a satirical novel by Ron Cooper, published by Bancroft Press in March 2007.[1]
Hume's Fork is a novel about a philosophy professor named Legare "Greazy" Hume. He attends a conference in Charleston, South Carolina, with his eccentric colleague Saul Grossman and has to stay, much to his annoyance, with his family. A professional wrestling tournament takes place in Charleston at the same time, and soon the wrestlers philosophize while the philosophers begin to act like wrestlers. Hume works through philosophical problems while facing his own identity crisis.
The title comes from a "Hume's fork", a distinction made by the 18th-century British philosopher David Hume while also referring to several personal choices that Legare Hume must make.
