Professor Romeo (Hardscrabble Books) - Softcover

"A rewriting of the Don Juan myth, with plenty of bite, good Cambridge atmosphere and a nice line in social and emotional observation . . . The novel is, above all, a work of sharp irony, standing back from making simple or fashionable judgments and taking a nicely jaundiced view of our contemporary sexual skirmishes." --Malcolm Bradbury, New York Times Book Review

A classic academic satire set at Harvard University and a New York Times Notable Book of 1988, Professor Romeo is the story of Jacob Barker, professor of psychology, best-selling author, leading scholarly researcher, and indefatigable seducer of women. Anne Bernays chronicles the conquests of this Don Juan from his undergraduate affairs to the terrifying moment, when, as a middle aged rogue, he is called to accounts by the newly-appointed Dean of Women's Affairs.
