WANDERERS ABOVE THE SEA OF FOG, Chapter 7: the sleep of reason produces monsters 

In the late summer of 1990, Mickey Milkovich begins his career as a History of Art undergraduate in an elite college in Vermont. There, he meets a group of five rich, eccentric, and spoiled students who introduce him to a way of thinking and living that’s a thousand light years away from the existence he’s so desperately trying to escape, but also one he’s very much used to. Among them, there’s a boy who teaches Mickey that being who he really is is far more within his reach than he ever deemed possible.
