..". a passionate and tormented novel about the summer of 1954
as it transpired in the lives of two young Korean War veterans
returning to their Indianapolis homes.... it is possible that the
current publishing season will produce no book more urgently felt."
New York Times Book Review, August 9, 1970
"A brilliant book." John Ciardi
"Wonderful, sad and funny; a scathing portrait of middle America
through the eyes of a new fictional character who will inevitably
be compared to Portnoy and Holden Caulfield." Gay Talese
Noted author Dan Wakefield s most famous novel seethes with
pent-up frustration and confusion and nearly every episode bubbles
with hilarity. This novel of the 1950s so perfectly captures its
time and place that it transcends the specific and becomes
universal a true classic of American literature. Now a major motion
picture."
