Hardcover. 206 pp. Errata slip laid in at p. 206. The author's first (and only) published novel. The story of Maynard Ricefield, a "pioneer of pleasure" in early 1960s New York. Maynard, a "big-city culture cat", pursues two girls who are friends and carries off their hearts. Meanwhile, an Upper East side hosiery store owner, Irving Melman, is allowing a friend to use his phone as a horse racing bookie. For letting his phone be used, Irving gets more than rent money, but he is nevertheless unhappy. Back to Maynard; he's very happy but a trifle guilty since neither of the girls know about each other. Turmoil ensues between the friends, at the hosiery store, and some friends of Izzy The Bookie.
