memorable portrayal of a time not so long ago in the US when Philip Wylie's "Generation of Vipers" was a part of the Zeitgeist. men didn't obliquely hint that women were the cause of their own failures & women were just plain evil; in those days they came out clearly & unambiguously to state it, restate it, & restate it. this perspective, embedded in "Stoner" like a fossil in a rock.
