Description: It begins fine and familiar and hokey and breezy. Heather, son of the Episcopal Bishop of Kansas City, arrives at Harvard in the late Forties, reads books, sleeps with a girl, and is generally unhappy. The confessional habit of the older Heather looking back on all this is not one that encourages us to take it very seriously. --NY Review of Books.
