From the back cover:
A male college instructor and his female student sit down to discuss her grades and in a terrifyingly short time become participants in a modern reprise of the Inquisition. Innocuous remarks suddenly turn damning. Socratic dialogue gives way to heated assault. And the relationship between a somewhat fatuous teacher and his seemingly hapless pupil turns into a fiendishly accurate x-ray of the mechanisms of power, censorship, and abuse.
