'What I Did Last Summer'
By A.R.
Gurney
|
The setting is a well-to-do vacation colony on the
shores of Lake Erie, the time 1945, during the final
stages of World War II. Charlie, an incipiently
rebellious fourteen-year-old, is summering with his
mother and sister (his father is fighting in the
Pacific) before going off to an expensive boarding
school in the fall.
Although he intended to spend the summer loafing and
socializing with his friends, the need for spending
money forces him to take a job as handyman for an
iconoclastic, bohemian art teacher, Anna Trumbull, a
former member of the "upper crust" who has lost both her
fortune and her regard for the ideals of her upbringing.
The result is a family crisis and a clash of
philosophies which raises as many questions as it
answers and, in the end, stimulates the self-awareness
which will shape the man Charlie is destined to become.
