Father is a clerk, a monster of suspicion and self-pity; Mother deals in junk, which she tries to sell as antiques. They are failures, and Ferdinand thrashes them frightfully for it.

What upwardly mobile American really wants a car that will last 30 years, as he watches newer models go by, with power steering and brakes, pushbutton windows, et al. Or the refrigerator without automatic defrosting? The stove without a self-cleaning oven...
