{"product_id":"oleanna-isbn-9780679745365","title":"Oleanna","description":"In a terrifyingly short time, a male college instructor and his female student descend from a discussion of her grades into a modern reprise of the Inquisition. Innocuous remarks suddenly turn damning. Socratic dialogue gives way to heated assault. And the relationship between a somewhat fatuous teacher and his seemingly hapless pupil turns into a fiendishly accurate X ray of the mechanisms of power, censorship, and abuse. \u003cbr\u003e \"David Mamet has raised outrage to an art form. . . . \u003ci\u003eOleanna \u003c\/i\u003eis…a scorcher.
