A small story, a monodrama with a hero but no antagonists.

The Crudup of "Almost Famous" was both hairier and more appealing than the tortured womanizer of World Traveler. Couldn't Cal have just stayed home, grown a mustache, and called his dad on the phone? [22 & 29 April 2002, p. 209]

The real seduction Crudup pulls off is that he makes it seem possible that the character hasn't actually done all of these awful things.

Limps shallowly along.

Loses significant points for its lazy story and complacent delivery.

Crudup gives it his best, but his character is so economically drawn, there's hardly anything there -- certainly nothing likable.
