Thorvan Erlsegaard is an unachieving college graduate who is obsessed with his exclusion from the social and romantic life of downtown Philadelphia's upper middle class young people, which grows ever more remote from him for reasons he only slowly comes to perceive. Through his acquaintance with Walter O'Halloran, an old college classmate who is moving rapidly beyond Erlsegaard in life, and Madeline Lazare, an Ivy League student with whom he becomes infatuated, Thorvan starts on the path to a brutal realization about who and what he actually is in comparison to the shining lights of his generation in Volume I of The Post-Industrial City: A Modern Romance.
