I just looked up that book. I assumed it was a cynical novel about the drug culture. Actually far from it. Seems like a good, classic American novel which ought to be more widely known. Thanks.
I cannot tell you how good the book was. A novel that looks directly at life, limitations, courage, cowardice, commitment, disappointment, and ultimately our path alone.
Came at a perfect time in my life as I reflect back upon my life and the choices made.
