Bøker av Charles Webb

In this collection, the poet glorifies the spirit, but also the flesh, as exemplified by the poem ""Liver"", ""organ whose name contains the injunction Live!... great One-Who-Lives, so we can too"".

At the end of Charles Webb's first novel, The Graduate, Benjamin Braddock rescues his beloved Elaine from a marriage made not in heaven but in California. It is now eleven years and 3,000 miles later, and the couple live in Westchester County, a suburb of New York City, with their two young sons, whom they are educating at home.

When Benjamin came down from university, this is how he talked - 'For twenty-one years I have been shuffling back and forth between classrooms and libraries. Now you tell me what the hell it's got me'. It was not what his father expected from a college education, and everyone was appalled when Ben raped Mrs Robinson and ran off with her daughter.
