Review
"An artistic achievement." --The Washington Post
"One of the best novels of its kind. . . . It isn't sentimental, and it is frank without trying to be sensational and shocking." --Christopher Isherwood "A brilliant exposé of subterranean life." --The Atlantic Monthly "Frank, shocking . . . extremely sympathetic, penetrating and exhortive." --New York Herald TribuneAbout the Author

His first novel, Williwaw, written when he was nineteen years old and serving in the Army, appeared in the spring of 1946.
