Suffering the conflict between living her own life and playing the role her mother has outlined for her, Braudy feels simultaneously selfish and guilty, angry and deceptive. Explaining her discordant emotions, she writes "We are becoming more equal, and as an emerging equal, I displease him.

...heart of Michaels's anger and accomodation to society is present powerlessness--the book opens with an early remembrance of Uncle Moe dropping dead of a heart attack, and the subsequent death of a friend. The loss of the narrator's virginity is compared to sinking a difficult jump shot from the corner; there is no feeling, only the contest. Brilliant craft alone does not give this book its force, which flows from those occasional passages where Michaels makes clear that the winners of the game end up with nothing...
