The Last of the Savages by Jay McInerney

From the author of Bright Lights, Big City comes a chronicle of a generation, as enacted by two men who represent all the passions and extremes of the class of 1969.

Patrick Keane and Will Savage meet at prep school at the beginning of the explosive '60s. Over the next 30 years, they remain friends even as they pursue radically divergent destinies--and harbor secrets that defy rebellion and conformity.
