O'Leary is an English professor, an expert on modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author of this witty and unabashedly politically incorrect novel is a professor in the English department of Columbia University, where some of the sex and all of the violence happens. It's an enclosed world with its own customs and denizens. The time is the late 1980s. Cultural theory and gender politics reign supreme, smoking is still permitted in the cafeteria, and--unfortunately for O'Leary--Viagra is but a twinkle in a scientist's eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Stade\u003c\/b\u003e lives in New York City and teaches at Columbia University.
