Around what year, would you say, was it that “courtesy and winning wayswent out of style, when it was good to be bad, when you cultivated decadence like a taste”?
What will be an ideal response?
- It is rebellious adolescence in general that Boyle describes in his opening paragraph; but he’s also talking about the late 1960s, when adolescents were in plentiful supply, “bad” behavior was much admired, and “courtesy and winning ways went out of style.” In 1967, when the American attack on Khe Sanh (mentioned in paragraph 7) took place, Boyle himself was nineteen years old. We can guess that’s the year in which “Greasy Lake” is set. But the epigraph and the story’s title come from that bard of a slightly later era, Bruce Springsteen, whose first album appeared in 1973.
