I struggled with this from the beginning. The only story I really liked was 'Robin.' I don't think this aged well. What was once fresh is now standard and it leaves no veil for the lazy, privileged behavior to not come across as self-indulgent. This vibe isn't always bad but it's been done much better by other writers.
