In The Paragon, John Knowles returns to the New
England academic world he depicted so powerfully
in A Separate Peace-this time to tell the story of
Louis Colfax, a gifted young man trying desperately
to find his way in the world.
Back in school after a failed eight-month stint in
the Marine Corps, Lou Colfax looked forward ta
Yale. It had to be an improvement over boot camp.
He continued to think so for at least half an hour,
until he met his roommate, Gordon Durant.
Rich (Durant Chemicals spelled money), antago-
nistic, snobbish, Gordon was anticipating a roomie
who wore gray flannel and tweed and cashmere
sweaters, played a good game of squash, and could
fit in at the Stork Club and El Morocco. Lou, who
crash-landed into their room sporting a huge duffel
bag, two cardboard cartons, a Soviet flag, and an
Afro-Brazilian friend named Clement Jonaz, didn t
quite fit the biN.
~ Lou s troubles were just beginning.
