Query: a guilt-trip without any real perceptiveness

I thought its only purpose was to assuage the author's own guilt about his lack of perceptiveness of the real Denny when they were in school together. I think Denny would have hated it. Unlike a true biography, there was no depth to the analysis. The whole thing was one Big Chill session -- an experience that is better in person (or at the movies). I do agree that the contrast between the 50s and today was interesting, but not surprising.
