One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.

Notes
Description
Richard Papen had never been to New England before his nineteenth year. Then he arrived at Hampden College and quickly became seduced by the sweet, dark rhythms of campus life -- in particular by an elite group of five students, Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and at first glance, highly unapproachable.
