...drunk in a succession of Continental gutters. Clearly the man liked wine and women; it is his song that Davies manages to ignore. He dismisses, for instance, the difficult but hardly inaccessible Finnegans Wake as a "monument to perversity." So much for 18 years of his subject's life-and for a palimpsest dream-epic of surpassing erudition and beauty. Davies' stumblebum Joyce is thus every bit as one-dimensional as the St. James who has been propped up by generations of acolytes...

When Hook's last class ended, there were champagne toasts and talk of the future.

...favor one particular outlet, now morbidly familiar. The assassinations are, in a way, a reflection of the emotionalism of life in America today: near-utopian expectations from American life and a spurned lover's disillusion when these expectations are unfulfilled. This is often combined with rootlessness, both geographic and moral. Cut off from any real community, the lonely men in rooming houses (but sometimes also on campuses or in the midst of prosperous suburbs) substitute fantasy for roots; life-and death-becomes equally unreal...
