...strange world and some troubled people," the dust jacket proclaims, "written by a young man who knows them at first hand." But how does Zane know them? Does he care? Does he approve?

A child, at least, grows up; but the down-and-outs in Easy Living are adults gone to seed. They are grown men and women romping in diapers, shouting to attract our attention, aware of our criticism, scornful of our values, yet forever concerned with what we think...

He continues: "The same names appear with monotonous regularity in the House Committee, Dance Committee, sports events, at dances, and on the Reporter's masthead. The number of Dudley men who, by being active in the affairs of the Housee would derive real benefit from a new center, is proably less than ten per cent...
