Review:

?I believe James Purdy is a writer of the highest rank in originality, insight and power, and if, in the Two Thousands, there is a grain of consciousness left among my dust, I will still believe it? Dorothy Parker ?Purdy may shock and offend some partisans of the well-trodden paths of fiction, but he will surely enchant the reader who values a new expression of new feeling and experience in our very new times? Tennessee Williams ?You wonder how this sank from sight, let alone avoided having a film made of it? Observer
