About the Book
How mutable – or divisible – is identity? How many unknown other selves do we have locked within? Which self do we present to the world, and why? Is it possible to take such control of our own history as to entirely avoid living in a universe of unintended consequences? And is someone who he “really is”, or is he who he has chosen, and is taken, to be? Set at the staid, buttoned-up Harvard Law School of the late sixties, Straw Man explores these and related themes in a prurient, picaresque romp through the underside of Cambridge during the most tumultuous decade of postwar American history.
