Description:
“Minor
Snobs is a portrait of a new generation coming of age in the 21st century.
Pulsating with the rhythms of contemporary America, it is the story of
competing dreams colliding in a chronicle of youth. Set in Chicago, Minor Snobs follows the story of Tom
Sanders as he becomes a witness to obsession and tragedy, hate and love,
violence and passion, and hope and despair.”
Appraisal:
A novella
length coming-of-age story, Minor Snobs
explores one of the tradeoffs many people struggle with in life, the push and
pull of finding the right balance between a career and the quest for financial
rewards versus quality of life and adequate leisure time. A recent law school
graduate who is serving an internship while studying for the bar exam, the
protagonist, Tom Sanders, is in a quandary and weighing his options, as he
observes friends and acquaintances and evaluates the repercussions of the
decisions they’ve made. Minor Snobs
is both entertaining and thought provoking.
