Caught between some of Chicago's most colorful denizens and some of philosophy's most challenging questions, Citrine often seems as if he were becoming a hybrid of two other famous home-town boys: Robert Hutchins and Nelson Algren. His real confusion, however, grows out of a bad conscience about the death of an old friend...

Their butter and soap come from the store. They worked the land, taught country school, and welcomed the automobile, hybrid corn and television. And what they had at any moment was always enough.
