- Annotation
- Examines the role of leisure in the characters lives, particularly its ability to provide self-fulfillment and emotional growth for Jake while leading only to failed escapism for others. Compares Jake s fishing and swimming to the others reckless drinking and gambling, concluding that Jake s willingness to seek self-reflective forms of leisure distinguishes him from the rest of the Lost Generation.
