“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.’”
