Looking at this book as being about a generation as whole is not really the way to get a complete picture of it nor of the statement it makes.
When I think about the reader I am now and what influences guided me to become so interested in literature, I inevitably remember this book. It was one of the books I carefully preserved when I grew up. It still sits on my bedside table as an adult.
