This was O'Hara's fourth novel, the first in eleven years, and became a best seller. O'Hara said of it "[my early books] were special books about specialised people; but this is the big one, the over-all one", and The New York Times called it his "most ambitious book. It is by no means entirely successful, but it does express a vibrant vitality." It was made into a successful film in 1965. Seller Inventory # 18602
