A Novel of College Life and Political Terror by Gene H. Bell-Villada How and why does a college kid become a radical, possibly a terrorist, in the early 1970's? The mystery is why the mainstream media narrators fail to understand their own story. This wild tale predicts the current war in Peru and the pseudo-debate about political correctness. A marvelous spoof of Gothics, Harlequins, college life and the way the American mind works, or doesn't work.

"Bell-Villada's thought-provoking novel both satirizes and illuminates the crippling of rational political discourse at a time when we need it most. This book deserves close attention from a wide audience." Read the full review |
The central conceit -- the cult of 'balance' and centrism, and how that's linked to various kinds of selective blindness -- is GREAT. The satire and the aphorisms are mordant. Very funny, trenchant stuff. |

Seductively readable, page by page. The portrait of the small New England liberal arts college is wonderful, and Livie has to be the girl you love to hate. |
-- Mary Lusky Friedman, Wake Forest University |
Intriguing, and for those of us already disillusioned with the common American ideologies, even fun. |
-- Mike Gunderloy, Fact Sheet Five |
