Reed has been cited as the most outstanding poet of his generation, as well as one of the most prolific. In this third novel, he writes of a group of self-admiring adolescents meeting in a seaside town in their last summer before joining the adult world. Here they come to terms with their sexual proclivities (and with tragedy) when one of the group drowns.
