The book's hero, Dave, is a resident of the lusty alternate universe known as the House of Holes, a kind of sex tourism Hogwarts. At one point, Dave invites a woman to watch a dirty movie in the campus's 12-projection theater, the "Porndecahedron." Before long, Mr. Baker writes, "Dave angled out his Malcolm Gladwell."

He continues: "'Ooh, you've got it out again,' she said. 'Can I hold it for a second, just the head of it? Oof.'" Blink, indeed.

The Transom was unable to reach Mr. Gladwell or Mr. Baker for comment. However, the book carries a disclaimer promising that "any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."
