Though Dan obsessives like to dig for autobiographical references — Barrytown is a hamlet near Bard College, so they make of it what they will — but the narrator’s smug, defensive superiority (“I’d like to see you do just fine, but look at what you wear”) can be found all over the country, and most of the world besides.
