The family dog worships him, too. While the forces of governmental evil surround their home, the women help Drummond flee to the Maine woods whence he sprang. The kinetic energy and grim humor of Chute's earlier work has been jettisoned for a style that is plainly sophomoric. Gorgeous and chill. Off Beacon Hill Boston.
Characterization is equally embarrassing.
Drummond quickly beds her and tames this shrew in record time. True to parody's demands, she is well-endowed physically and drinks too many Black Russians. Drummond, of course, cures her of superficiality the same way he cured her daughter of feminism. Drummond is handsome, disdains wearing shirts that are plaid or pink and wins all the chess and Scrabble games he plays with Kristy because his native intelligence beats her doctorate hands down. He lives and dies so that man shall live.
