Good morning, I recently finished Amor Towles’s The Lincoln Highway. The book is a picaresque romp of four boys along the Lincoln Highway from Nebraska to New York. The boys, and virtually everyone they meet in this early-50s story, are damaged in some way—whether as a result of the war, love unrequited, the passage of time, lost opportunity, momentary success followed by failure, personal weakness or, in the case of the boys, having spent years in a facility for juveniles, each of whom ran afoul of the law.
