Glad to see that you've awoken! You make a good point. It's probably true that a younger person would not consider writing Margaret Lawrence's The Stone Angel or Mordecai Richler's Barney's Version. The Art of Fielding (a baseball book that you would like) has mostly young college-baseball-aged characters. Those characters are the most believable. There's a somewhat unbelievable college president and his not completely unbelievable daughter. It took a few chapters to hook me, then it was fun. So much goes into committing one's self to the reality of a novel (film, TV show), that even the questionable follies of the college president weren't enough to lose me.
