Summary
Four stories that thematically comprise a cycle focus on the life-defining moments when a smart, accomplished, and confident young man of privilege finds his sense of superiority crumbling in the face of outside assault. By the author of The Half-Life of Happiness. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A young intellectual is called into active duty and receives a rude awakening to the realities of military service. An Ivy League graduate is pressed casually into Intelligence work and encounters himself mirrored in his new-found friend--a Russian spy. An arrogant professor finds himself unable to resist the unschooled energy of a spunky female student. A lonely apprentice at a New York law firm is flattered by the attentions of two mentors--one a senior partner, the other an enchantingly extravagant woman--whose sophistication make his own naivety painfully apparent. Each story in this luminous quartet explorers an emotional turning-point, either toward or away from self-knowledge--that moment when a young man of privilege suddenly finds his carefully nurtured superiority crumbling. In Caseyâs beautiful prose, the experiences of these solitary narrators resonate with remarkable power.
