Scarred by the senseless death of their son and baffled by the engulfing chaos of the 1960s, Allston and his wife, Ruth, have left the coast for a California retreat. And although their new home looks like Eden, it also has serpents: Jim Peck, a messianic exponent of drugs, yoga and sex; and Marian Catlin, an attractive young woman whose otherworldly innocence is far more appealing - and far more dangerous. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''\u003ci\u003eThe Great Gatsby\u003c\/i\u003e captures the twenties and yet transcends them. \u003ci\u003eAll the Little Live Things\u003c\/i\u003e is a comparable achievement for the sixties ...
