The English Major

An American college is a sensuous place. Typically, 10 to 40 thousand mostly young students, many away from home for the first time, unmonitored, horny as hell. A campus bookstore that sells condoms. A faculty just as licentious as the students they teach. What could possibly go wrong? This is the story of a handful of students and faculty living the fun life, while pursuing their academic interests. The students remain unharmed, but the careless faculty almost bring calamity upon themselves. Almost. In the end, however, the sensual life goes on.
