Summary "In a Yellow Wood" by Gore Vidal is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story primarily focuses on Robert Holton, a young man adjusting to civilian life after serving in the war, navigating through his work in a brokerage house, and his interactions with various characters, including Marjorie, a waitress, and Caroline, his co-worker. The novel delves into themes of identity, societal expectations, and the search for personal meaning amidst the backdrop of post-war America." The opening of "In a Yellow Wood" introduces us to Robert Holton as he prepares for his day, reflecting on his appearance and the lingering effects of a troubling dream. Through vivid descriptions, we gain insights into his mundane life at a New York hotel and his routine as an office worker at a brokerage firm. The narrative captures his interactions with other characters, including a fellow worker with whom he shares a friendly rapport, and Marjorie, a waitress who harbors feelings for him. As the scenes unfold, there’s an exploration of Robert's inner thoughts and the sense of alienation he feels in the bustling city, setting the tone for deeper character development and emotional complexity in the rest of the book.
