4.9/5 (18189 ratings)

Description:THE SCANDALOUS 1968 NOVEL (New American Library, Signet Books) RESTORED and REVISED HARTSPRING EXPOSED exposes the first thirty-four odd years in the life of its narrator, the perverse and charming Hartspring--father, voyeur, teacher, war hero, lover, salesman of encyclopedias, madcap comedian, Prince of Life . . .and Death. The story--set in a fictional Yale University--focuses on Hartspring's culminating disaster, the wild feast from his office window on the plush, nude bodies of two girls in their dormitory across the way. Cynthia Potter and Diana Lou Moon strip themselves naked, Amazon goddesses readying a full frontal assault upon the World of Men. In a brilliant panorama of flashback, the chief figures in Hartspring's past emerge lovely mad Mag Durham from Alabama; Willy Gross, who engineers Hartspring's marriage to the pneumatic Mona; Hartspring's father, who grimly blows himself to pieces with a twelve-gauge shotgun; and Hartspring's mother, who, in a despairing last odyssey through Europe, destroys herself with sex and booze. Two major actors of the present drama are Holman, the loyal friend who scrounges Hartspring his final job, and Hartspring's student, the wild Yolk--editor of The Organ, voice of the coming generation, famous novelist in his senior college year. It's Yolk who, under the guise of gathering material for fiction, employs one of the dormitory strippers in a plot to precipitate Hartspring's ruin.Chthonic forces are relentlessly astir beneath the genteel ivy façade. There are nascent wars--abroad and at home. Shedding its baby teeth, Women's Liberation has adopted an aggressive New Morality with a fearful bite! Youthful vitality, with a near total disregard for History, threatens Authority with a Disrespect that exceeds mere Anarchy. Violence--of mind and body--bloodies the air we breathe. Even the New Criticism and its Monastery, the Yale Department of English, face disintegration!! False gods and prophets are taking center stage. Emerging from this lusty Crucible into a Brave New World of falling boundaries and fallen gods, our narrator strives to map his way. HARTSPRING EXPOSED may outrage or charm, but it is certain to fascinate the reader. An offbeat, brilliant novel. Nothing quite so outrageous has before come out of an academic community to my knowledge. It's dark and funny, and sometimes, way down sad.
