Ein junger Inellektueller wird in aktive Pflicht gerufen und erhält ein unhöfliches Erwachen der Realitäten des Militärdienstes. Ein Ivy League Absolvent wird lässig in die Intelligenzarbeit gedrückt und trifft sich in seinem neugefundenen Freund – einem russischen Spionier. Ein engagierter Professor findet sich nicht in der Lage, der ungeschoolten Energie einer spunky weiblichen Schülerin zu widerstehen. Ein einsamer Lehrling einer New York Kanzlei wird von den Aufmerksamkeiten zweier Mentoren umschmeichelt – einer Seniorenpartner, der andere eine bezaubernd extravagante Frau – deren Raffinesse seine eigene naivität schmerzhaft sichtbar macht. Jede Geschichte in diesem leuchtenden Quartett erforscht einen emotionalen Wendepunkt, entweder in Richtung oder weg von Selbsterkenntnissen – diesen Moment, in dem ein junger Mann des Privilegs plötzlich seine sorgfältig gepflegte Überlegenheit bröckelt. In Casey’s schöne Prosa schwingt die Erfahrungen dieser Einzelzähler mit bemerkenswerter Kraft.
