From Library Journal This first novel is off to a promising start when the narrator offers an autobiographical tale in lieu of his doctoral thesis in history. But the tale itself is burdened by mundane reminiscences of adolescence; repetitive quarrels between the narrator and his confused, bad-tempered wife; and relentless self-analysis to the tune of ``a terrible resentment which was growing inside like molten rock grows inside a volcano for years until the moment of its eruption.'' More interesting is the situation: a child of the Fifties finds that by the time he's nearly reached his lifelong professional goals, they are no longer meaningful to him. But essentially the novel is weak: unable to develop some thoughts on the effect of the women's movement on men, and unable to create a sympathetic or fleshed-out protaganist.

Book Description The El Cholo Feeling Passes is a coming-of-age story, at once funny and sad, chronicling the stormy relationship of two characters as they grapple with career choices, Vietnam, and the Women's Movement during a remarkable period in American history. But the novel also serves as a timeless metaphor for fleeting youth-and the often disturbing dynamics of romantic relationships. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
