Publisher's Note
This extravagantly imagined tale chronicles the rehabilitation of a man--a lapsed teacher who is guilty of having had a love affair with a twelve-year-old boy. Subjected to a battery of strange therapies (many of them actual practices in health institutions across America), the man struggles to understand and embrace the lessons being offered to him by the Criminal and Health Ministry in charge of his new life. Under orders of the Doctor-General Nicholas Nicholas, he is to find a new career away from the schools. He will become a writer: an occupation deemed therapeutic by the ministry's professional staff. THE SEX OFFENDER is at once a burlesque of the state and an unmasking of the foundations on which our notions of love and psychological health are based, wedding mystery with comedy, satire, and politics.

Industry Reviews
"Outrageous and compelling...'The Sex Offender' is a baroque, is a burlesque, is a masque that seduces even while it offends."
Spanbauer

"Riveting, gentle, hallucinatory, and fiercely moral...'The Sex Offender' makes one think about love and its responsibilities in an entirely different way."
Cooper

"A daring, controversial, necessary book."
Tillman

"Matthew Stadler is an inspiring, even brilliant writer [who] makes one think about love and its responsibilities in an entirely new way."
Cooper
