When a third<\/insert>3rd<\/delete> year Shady Dealer<\/em> reporter goes to interview American historian and Dean of the College at the University of Chicago,<\/delete> John W. Boyer, he encounters a man who is dashing, debonair, and disarming. The callow, wholesome student is shocked to realize he desires the Dean,<\/insert> and,<\/delete> despite the Professor\u2019s dedication to freedom of expression, finds himself at a loss for words. Rendered <\/insert>P<\/delete>p<\/insert>owerless by <\/insert>over<\/delete> the pupil\u2019s feigned quirkiness, crushed spirits, and below average GPA, Boyer admits he too has yearnings\u2014 <\/delete>but refuses to act on them until the undergraduate finishes reading The University of Chicago: A History. <\/em><\/insert><\/p>\n

<\/insert><\/p>\n

Taken aback, yet enthralled by Boyer\u2019s singular academic tastes, the <\/delete> third thir<\/delete><\/insert>3<\/delete>rd <\/delete>year student is hesitant. For all his outward values of forward thinking\u2014his emphasis on rigorous debate, academic enlightenment, and open discourse\u2014Boyer is a man shrouded by secrets. When the pair sets off on their roller coaster ride of an affair, the boy uncovers Dean Boyer\u2019s hidden life and learns the true reason there are no safe spaces at the University of Chicago.<\/insert><\/p>\n

<\/insert><\/p>\n

This book is intended for mature audiences (but this isn\u2019 <\/delete>no<\/insert>t a trigger warning). <\/insert><\/p>\n
