I thought that Conrad character in the book was fairly sympathetic. Young guy unjustly prisoned...learns of Stoic philosophy in prison, etc. But you are probably right about the Freaknik scene. If I remember, this was the arrogant Ga. Tech football player who raped the rich white girl.(?)
Good point on Conrad. And yes, the Tech player was involved (though it was later found that the sex was consensual and the rich white girl instigated it).
Personally, I loved how Tom Wolfe managed to make Tech look like a football powerhouse by poaching the new coach from Bama.
