Mr. Blue

by Myles Connolly

J. Blue is a young man who decides to take christianity seriously, not as a chore but as a challenge. He spends his inherited wealth almost as soon as he gets it. He lives in a packing box on a New York rooftop. He embraces the poor as his best friends and wisest companions, distrusts the promises of technology (except for movies), and is fascinated by anything involving the wide expanse of God's universe. He is the ultimate free spirit, it seems; but what is the source - purpose - of his freedom?
