Plot Summary

After college graduation, Grover's girlfriend Jane tells him that she's moving to Prague to study writing. Grover declines to accompany her, deciding instead to move in with several friends who, like him, can't quite work up the drive to escape their university's pull. Nobody wants to make any big decisions that would radically alter his life, yet none want to end up like Chet, the professional student who tends bar and is in his tenth year of university studies. Written by James Meek

Quotes Max: I'm too nostalgic. I'll admit it.
Skippy: We graduated four months ago. What can you possibly be nostalgic for?
Max: I'm nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I've begun reminiscing events before they even occur. I'm reminiscing this right now. I can't go to the bar because I've already looked back on it in my memory... and I didn't have a good time.
