THE RAW, DEFIANT NOVEL OF THE SIXTIES THE SECRET An Oratorical Novel by JAMES DROUGHT Some books speak to their generation: In the Forties, Ayn Rand's controversial The Fountainhead; in the Fifties, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye; more recently Joseph Heller's Catch-22. Each of these books made a powerful statement; and each of them was sought out and recognized by its own generation. In the same fashion, James Drought's The Secret is being read on every campus across the Nation. Word of mouth has spread the news of this book by a young American who is unafraid to say it. Copies of the first privately-printed edition have been passed from hand to hand until they are worn out. James Drought omits nothing in this slashing novel: The sleeping dogs he attacks range from big business and the military establishment to greed and apathy in private life, from our religion, morals and sexual attitudes to our dreams. Uncomfortably powerful... a good, hard look at life and country, as real and disconcerting as the subject. Mr. Drought has a piece of knowledge born of his vision, paid in blood. St. Louis Post Dispatch "I am much impressed by this... It is more a testament than a novel... very powerful." Paul Pickrel, THE YALE REVIEW
