Jezebel is running an exclusive story about Alexander Maksik and his very real relationship with a high school student while he was a teacher at the American School of Paris. It’s interesting that he never alluded to that coincidence. As a graduate of ASP and a former student of Maksik’s, I’m shocked that he had the nerve to write this “novel”
