Chapter 11: War Surplus …
Chapter 11 opens with the narrator reflecting on the deaths of his parents, who passed away at the relatively young age of sixty. Their deaths, he speculates, may have been caused by broken hearts, having lived through difficult years, yet they did not disinherit him. Instead, they left him an estate worth forty-eight thousand dollars in 1945, a sum that has since quadrupled in value. This inheritance provides him with an annual income of seven thousand dollars, which, in many cases, would allow for a…-
