› Find signed collectible books: 'Matters of Honor'Book summary:From the acclaimed author of Wartime Lies and About Schmidt, a luminous story of a brilliant but haunted outsider driven to transcend his past.
At Harvard in the early 1950s, three seemingly mismatched freshmen are thrown together: Sam, who fears that his fine New England name has been tarnished by his fathers drinking and his mothers affairs; Archie, an affable army brat whose veneer of sophistication was acquired at an obscure Scottish boarding school; and Henry, fiercely intelligent but obstinate and unpolished, a refugee from Poland via a Brooklyn high school. As roommates they enter a world governed by arcane rules, where merit is everything except when trumped by pedigree and the inherited prerogatives of belonging. Each roommates accommodation to this world will require self-reinvention, none more audacious than Henrys. Believing himself to be at last in the land of the free, he is determined to see himself on a level playing field, playing a game he can win. The ante is highvirtual renunciation of his pastbut the jackpot seems even higherlong dreamed-of esteem, success, and arrival. Henry will stay in the game almost to the last hand, even after it becomes clear he must stake his loyalty to his parents and even to himself.
Reserved and observant, Sam recounts the trios Harvard years and the reckonings that follow: his own struggle with familial demons and his rise as a novelist; a coarsened Archies descent into drink; and, most attentively, Henrys Faustian bargain and then his mysterious disappearance just as all his wildest ambitions seem to have been realized. Love and loyalty will impel Sam to discover the secret of Henrys final reinvention.
An unforgettable portrait of friendship and a meditation on loyalty and honorLouis Begleys finest achievement. [via]
