...brother Markie can find someone to love them, to make them believe it's worth growing up. Pepper faces down a grey-flannel husband and petty-bourgeois mother-in-law, befriends a looney, and runs off to Europe to find her brother, who carries the world's angst on his shoulders...
which gently and coldly present a lynching in the deep South. And some take Bonesian lyric postures toward experience that is clearly Henry's.

It is in his power to make the uncommitted students he talks about attractive or offensive, justified or unjustified. That he takes their angst for an expression of midcentury malaise rather than, for example, a reaction to a hypocritical and impersonal institution is a function of his involvement with them and it. This quibble is not to suggest that the book should not have been written, merely that Keniston should have been more candid about...
