Nick cannot escape from this male image.  Other important characters in 
the book include an eccentric university chancellor, one of the pledges 
in Nick's fraternity, and a crazed uncle.  Nick ends up taking a trip 
to Sardinia, where he discovers his roots and finds the answers to many 
questions about himself.
