...heroic endeavor to persuade greatness to yield its secret. And the point of Hoffman's novel is that life can be led without greatness, for life contains enough besides to be always interesting and intense. There is pathos, as the story, of the old Grandmother shows; there is evil, as the story of Mr. Guppey, homosexual Christian Endeaver uplifter, warns us; there is good, as the family history abundantly illustrates.

Then that horse, no matter how he finished, is led to a special stall...

It is equally opposed to idealistic and materialistic unity. It may be pessimistic, in reflecting that man is prone to evil from his youth, but it is the opposite of fatalism. It may be guardedly optimistic, in finding that the intellectually discovered key to the good life is easily used by the will, but it is equally the opposite of that Rousseauian naturalistic optimism, that Alice-in-Wonderland adventure...
