Paradise?

This book appears to FSF's first wholehearted attmept to capture the voices of his generation. Who am I to say he failed? While his 1st novel does lack the profound mysticism, depth, and overwhelming power of the "Great Gatsby", this book is still a beautifully constucted web of words that to me lack nothing but the sense of finality with good old Amory. All in all worth a few days of your life to read, and to forget about all the stuff you waste your time worrying about.
