Sorry, this was not for me. I love reading books with a strong cultural background but this was very dry and seemed to crawl on forever. I see how the dscussions about Vladimir Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen, and other authors and their encouragements to strike out against repression but I felt the subject was overwritten. The book didn't go anywhere for me.
