"AT THE SHPRES IS A CLASSIC NOVEL OF LOVE IN AMERICA. Set in the Indiana dunes and Chicago, it tells the story of Jerry Engels, an appedling, handsome, middle-class boy, who even in elementary school finds himself forever in love "He loved the girls in his class, the girls on the block, the maid at home, his sister's friends, some of his mother's friends ...He even loved school--the renowved University of Chicago Laboratory High School--he strives to make the grades his academically suerb sister made and his parents expect, but as the world becomes erotically charged for him, he finds and fixing it hard to study. Unlike other boys, who live according to the "approved doctrine that there are other things in the world besides girls"--politics, care, sports, finding out about things and fixing things, and making money--Jerry cares only about girls For him, "girls are a kind of blessing. When he saw a girl like Betty Lomax walking through Belfield Hall with a fresh flower tucked into her hair, he felt like kissing her out of gratitude for having bought that flower and put it in her hair." Then, at the end of his junior year, he falls deeply, passionately in love with Rosalind lngleside, the most beautiful respected, and wealthy girl in school, and for almost all of one summer Jerry's dream of loving and being loved is fulfilled. |
