Not much happens in this book. The plot of this story is so thin it's hard to say it even qualifies as a plot. For such a short story, it really drags on. I kept reading and hoping that something (anything!) was going to happen. It doesn't help that most of the book is just the self-important ramblings of an old man disguised as some sort of philosophical epiphany. He, his friends, and his girlfriend all sound like insufferable snobs who can't just say what they mean and have to go around having airs with each other. And when the big reveal finally happens in the last pages of the book, I'm just like *shrug* "is this what all the fuss is about?"
