Virgin Logic

Virgin Logic is about the Baby Boomers in their early defining years. Ciro, a recent college graduate, returns home to Boston after a year 'œfinding himself' in the Caribbean, but he doesn't want to return to the life he was raised to. Avoiding his parents and their social and business friends, he settles into a bartending job and seedy apartment in Harvard Square. Here he encounters a parade of unforgettable characters who lurk beneath and behind the fa§ade of 'œpeace and love' the world sees. Each of these characters entangles Ciro in unique beyond-the-edge adventures, each of which illuminates an aspect of the values, ethics, fears, and desires that weave together the boomers' world view. For some this will be a touchstone to their own youthful adventures, for others, a bridge to a life they wished they had lived. For all, a reminder of how bizarre the world was in 1974. Sharing some of Holden Caulfield's desire for innocence, some of Yossarian's desperate desire to hold on to sanity in the face of a world gone nuts, Ciro is a man of his time and at war with his time, as unforgettable as the era was bitter and strange.Viens, Harry is the author of 'Virgin Logic', published 2003 under ISBN 9781413703153 and ISBN 1413703151.
