CHAPTER

I Think of Nothing About Stoicism Is Deontological

Rye: In many ways, call is a victim of his own history. He and gussar young men are really just discovering kind of who they are in the 20 first century. And that's the tragedy, is that it's very difficult for them to find a place for their particular virtues. But we as readers still see value in them, even in the midst of a very sort of confused modern world. Rye: The novel offers real hope there, once we finally realize who these characters are.
