Misere de La Philosophie (1847)

Borass is a humorous epic adventure with the Indiana University Little Five Hundred bike race as a metaphor for overcoming adversity. The sidebars examine dormitory life, race relations, and the pursuit for a place in graduate school. As our Everyman struggles to his intended destiny, the positivity emerges. Borass is a lighthearted, but insightful, look at the pivotal sixties when America reset its moral compass and taught Baby Boomers to forget the legacies of their immigrant ancestorsathat is all but one, the Herodotus of his era Sam Gardner. Unfortunately, as with most issues of that time, the lines were either blurred or never defined due to the legacies of the 1960s: Ambiguity, self-importance, and a hurried false sense of accomplishmentaespecially, when all of it is bogus. That also summarizes what most males feel about college life.
