Title: Excellent book that defines struggling in the 60s!
Review: I read this book many years ago, and have always loved it. That, however, doesn't say whether the book is good or bad.What makes this book good is that it shows the transition of America during the 1960s in one of its most turbulent periods. In this book, we follow the path of Boston-born Fitzie, an Irish kid who attends college at a Jesuit college, ends up as an officer in the U.S. Army and eventually makes his way to Madison Avenue where he becomes a bigwig in advertising. (Hannibal was or still is president of Grey Advertising, I believe, one of the nation's top advertising firms; and yes, I believe it is on Madison Avenue.)Read this book if you can get it; it's an excellent work of art, just excellent. (It reads like an American James Joyce in many ways.)
