Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a hilarious and insightful look at the social dynamics of a suburban community during the era of Prohibition in the United States. The story follows Henry Carpenter, a bond salesman navigating the complexities of maintaining his social status amidst the changing landscape of alcohol availability. As the once-plentiful supply of liquor dwindles, Henry and his wife, Millicent, find themselves caught in a web of social expectations, pretenses, and anxieties. The author skillfully satirizes the obsession with exclusivity and the shifting power dynamics within the community as the ability to provide alcohol becomes a new marker of social currency. The narrative explores themes of class, status, and the lengths to which people will go to maintain appearances. Through witty dialogue and comical situations, the book delves into the hypocrisy and absurdity of a society grappling with the consequences of its own choices. Ultimately, this book offers a timeless commentary on human nature and the enduring relevance of social hierarchies. The author's keen observations on status anxiety and the lengths to which individuals will go to fit in resonate deeply, reminding us that the pursuit of exclusivity often comes at the cost of authenticity and genuine connection.
