O knihe

LIFE & TIMES OF SAUL M. BECKETT is a Bildungsroman or coming-of-age novel about a boy who, against overwhelming odds, battles a world of hypocrites and wins. At an early age, he is exposed to two of the most powerful forces in the universe-sex and death. He learns that without sex there would be no world. Without death, life would be impossible. If sex is not the meaning of life, then it is what we do while seeking it. On the eve of the Sexual Revolution, Beckett is raised by a single mother, a libertine who subscribes to the Religion of the Month Club. Enrolled as the poorest student in an all-male, college-prep academy, Beckett exposes the hypocrisy of school officials and those who would take advantage of the vulnerable. Along the way, he is helped in the search for the meaning of life by adoring women, a rich uncle, and his best friend. In the end, despite the inevitable hardships and the heights of joy, Saul M. Beckett makes his way in the world with his self-respect intact and fortune secure.
