While reading this novel, I realized many of the thoughts and dialogs of Ron Grant and Lucky, his girl, were ones that may be expressed by MAGA supporters.

Example: “You know, you have to marry me, Ron,” she said one time. “I’m twenty-seven already, and you’re about my last chance. And anyway, you’re the last of the unmarried writers except for the fags"

Out there in the dark Park, Puerto Rican and Harlem kids might be right now beating some adult to death with bicycle chains, and Grant couldn’t have cared less. Everyone to his own kind of fun.

Wait! This has turned into a totally shitty book about a boring affair in New York after a terrific deep sea diving adventure in the Carribean which is how the novel begins.
