"The writer has a grudge against society, which he documents with accounts
of unsatisfying sex, unrealized ambition, unmitigated loneliness, and a sense of local and global distress. The square, overpopulation,
the bourgeois, the bomb and the cocktail party are variously identified as sources of the grudge. There follows a little obscenity
here, a dash of philosophy there, considerable whining overall, and a modern satirical novel is born." -Renata Adler
