- Summary:
- "This study, the first monograph on The Graduate, explores how popular and subsequent critical reception deflected an understanding of the film's point of view, which satirizes everything in its path--especially Benjamin and Elaine, its young "heroes." The text explores how the film offers not the happy ending some imagine, but a corrosive and satirical vision of humanity"--Provided by publisher.
