ALEX IN FEMILAND: A
Politically Incorrect Novel of Morals
Alex is a sarcastic South American research
physicist who moves from Harvard to teach at The Sound College, south of
Seattle, so as to be near his young son.
It is 1989, when political correctness is beginning to take over
campuses nationwide, setting aside such technicalities as due process and
freedom of speech. Alex makes fun of the
cult of victimhood, which makes him a target of the Sound political activists,
who consider him a traitor because his behavior is unbecoming a “person of
color.” Soon they bring him up on false
charges of sexual harassment, a favorite weapon of feminists against professors
who oppose them. His students, though,
stand by him, and he bests Maria, the Affirmative Action Officer, who has led a
ludicrous investigation. The next time
around, however, he is not so fortunate.
Alex has fallen in love with a former student, Linda, a glorious affair
interrupted by the canonizing of Anita Hill as the Matron Saint of the Left. Two women, motivated by spite and jealousy,
bring new sexual harassment accusations against Alex. With practically the
whole Sound College against him, the upcoming farcical “investigation” should
make the destruction of Alex’s career a foregone conclusion.

COMMENTS:
The blurbs for the back cover come from university
professors, people who have seen their universities stomped by the PC mob. I hope you will be interested in reading them.
Few
writers today are prepared to confront political correctness and what
passes for progressive ideals. Here is a bold exception which focuses on life
and morality in a modern university campus and exposes the totalitarian
nature of PC, culminating in a modern tragedy about the perversion of
education and human relations. This is a story of our time, with a warning for
the future.
Prof. David Lamb, University of Manchester
A gripping page-turner that offers a troubling window into
the crazy, ideological culture of the modern American academic world.
Prof.
Michael Huemer, University of Colorado
An
insightful look at the dramatic contrast between real education and
politically-correct indoctrination on the American campus.
Prof.
Ainara Wilder, The Evergreen State College
A penetrating
and very funny novel that makes its most telling points against sexual
political correctness by showing rather than declaring, by letting us see
rather than telling us what we are seeing.
With understated, tongue-in-cheek wit, in the fashion of Cervantes and
Swift, the scenes build, oh so logically, into widening whirlpools
of rollicking absurdity. What lifts this Gulliverian journey into
Academia is its delicious writing. I savored every paragraph. Alex
in Femiland is a work of art.
Prof.
Sheldon Reaven, Stony Brook University
