![]() As Wilson tells Cody early on, “Like many dreamers, you mistake disenchantment for truth.” Cody tries to take a picture of Holly at one point, but admits it didn’t come out well. Is she a pawn, a mascot, a sacrificial lamb, a catalyst or passenger?Ī hipster party leads to a road trip to Holly’s old hovel, a romantic interlude, quiet anguish. ![]() An unschooled rustic original, open and guileless yet not giving anything away that would reduce her. They try on different ideas and theories like sweaters, and it’s with this blithe spirit they become involved with Holly, a pretty blonde who’s part lost soul, part muse, part wood nymph, part siren. Wilson, Alice and Cody are clever, attractive young people who are a tight unit, but there’s something missing. Young Lions isn’t so much about a specific thing that I can tell, but it does deal with how things sometimes don’t quite work out, and how a moment of shimmering magic, pure love or perfect harmony can become ennui, discord or heartbreak before you know how good you had it. ![]() Finally, I realized that wasn’t going to happen, and that’s fine. ![]() I guess I was hoping for that perfect time to review it, when the book had fully crystalized for me. I’ve had this gem for a few months now, always turning up somewhere around the house or in my backpack. ![]()
