Description: The third volume, The Acceptance World (1955), opens with Nick Jenkins, in his late twenties, beginning to make his way in the world of letters: working for a publisher, writing on his own, and establishing connections across the literary landscape. At the same time, he is making his way in love, as a surprise meeting with an old friend's sister blossoms into an affair. Meanwhile, friends are diving into marriage and careers, and the patterns of life's dance are starting to take shape—even as the future steps remain shadowy.
