...games with father, who rooted passionately, "as though he had a stake in its outcome." Duke even went so far as to buy English bulldogs to suggest his connection with Old Eli. Despite gaping holes in the Ivy League story--a friend once hailed Duke as a classmate from Penn in Geoffrey's earshot--Geoffrey "preferred this fabulous notion to the transparent reality." Children year for security above all and so "it never occurred to me that my father lied." Duke was not the only one to lead a life of deception. Perhaps Wolff can forgive his father more easily...
