Cocooned on the campus of a prestigious East Coast college a privileged set of students are free to indulge their passions for the classics, their enigmatic tutor and general excess. As the debauchery increases their lives take on an almost surreal form and perhaps inevitably the rot sets in with dire consequences. Despite literary and classical references the writing has an easy flow and it's a real page-turner. Been sitting on my shelf for about 7 years so glad I finally read it.
