...Fool Killer remains valid for two reasons. In its picaresque exploration of a naive, vanished America, it meanders into the Twain tradition of American fiction. And in its stinging exploration of God-haunted gothic territory, it demonstrates that no ethnic group has ever had an exclusive hold on guilt...

As trust has waned, many students have been impelled to look to the University to provide that which church and state no longer seem to provide.
