About this title

Review:

It is about idealism in a democracy that is still recovering from a civil war bitterly fought for social ideals [written] with a ferocious, precise, detailed and wildly comic realism --A. S. Byatt writes in her Introduction

As devastating in its wit as it is sharp in its social critique of sexual politics. No writer in America had dared the subject before. No one has done it so well since --The New Republic
