David Kepesh is a cultural critic and professor, in a state of ’emancipated manhood’: His relationships with women are usually casual, brief and sexual in nature. David will find his life thrown into tragic disarray by Consuela Castillo, a well-mannered student who awakens a sense of sexual possessiveness in her teacher.
