Title: Old virtues with modern sensibility
Review: This book can be a difficult reading unless the reader is situated in a similar milieu. Each thought described in each sentence displays a flash of brilliance but characters in the story blend into one another without much distinction. I'll have to heed Professor Kermit Roosevelt's notations paraphrased here by me as something like (1) succeeding is energizing, exhilarating and satisfying but success is empty and also (2) a society person is bound by tiny thread of custom and duty and so at minimum he risks being ridiculed by community if he aims and achieves wholesale reorganization of personal lives.
