That Boy's Seven Kinds of Love: MEMOIRS OF A YOUNG WOMAN
That Boy's Seven Kinds of Love MEMOIRS OF A YOUNG WOMAN Author:David Ross She always just wanted to get away. Now she's twenty-two, bright, attractive, a graduate of Tufts and is gone...on a transcontinental train, alone...very alone. Peggy Cegonian grew up in the starkest of American blandlands...the lower-middle-class spreads of Long Island. "The middle of ugly." The story begins when Peggy has left everythin... more »g behind, carrying a rare Italian Rennaissance drawing to wherever she calls home. The drawing is a gift, "from nowhere and no one." She seems to carry it everywhere for thousands of miles...walking, sitting, staring. She always knew there'd be a price for being so alone. Who does she think she is...not being a regular guy and then, not a prima donna? She seems willing to contradict the huge middle of America...that claims class should not, and therefore, does not exist. But it does. And Peggy sees...scary or not...the real world has real names in real places...Tufts University and Groton School in New England...Stanford University in California...the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston...the Metropolitan Museum in New York City...the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England... America makes few claims to parameters but then, people being people, most will make false claims...to power, virtue and even, sex... What honest claim can Peggy make? "Goodbye."« less
