Chucklehut Critical Analysis: Books I’ve

Chucklehut Critical Analysis:  Books I’ve cranked through lately included Dharma Bums and The Razor’s Edge.  DB was about lost souls going out to get found and grounded in wild country and wild parties; RE was about well-born members of the bourgoisie slowly moving into realms other than those of their dreams.  Maughm called it a success story but it seems a cruel and misguided definition of success.  You know how he gets sometimes.  DBs was ecstatic, and even though I got a little tired of all the hipsterisms and dehumanizing of women, it was a blast to read.  Official review: they’re both okay, but not as good as Aztec.  This has been a Chucklehut Critical Analysis.
