End of the Road by John Barth

rating:
recommended for: east coast old money Turbos
Barth is a terrific writer and has his own brand of Objectivism that is pretty intriguing. However, he is such an east coast, old money, misogynistic douchebag- a characteristic that is so painfully evident in "the end of the road" (a first person narrative) that is makes this book a hard read. While reading "the end of the road" this past weekend, I actually threw book across the room after reading a passage in which the narrator justifies he abusive nature towards the women in his life... The book is ridiculous and I don't recommend it to anyone except for east coast old money turbos.
