Review"An uncommonly good novel . . . a considerable achievement" -- Saturday Review"More than any other American novelist, O'Hara has both reflected his times and captured the uniquely individual" -- Los Angeles TimesAn uncommonly good novel . . . a considerable achievement - Saturday Review With over three million copies sold, O'Hara's great novel of America in the first half of the century was made into an acclaimed film starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. It richly chronicles one man's rise to wealth, power, and prominence - and the haunting sense of failure at his heart. "More than any other American novelist, O'Hara has both reflected his times and captured the uniquely individual" - Los Angeles TimesFrom Library JournalO'Hara is one of those authors who unfortunately has been nearly forgotten, despite having been a highly popular writer in his day. This 1959 novel follows banking tycoon Alfred Eaton, whose external rise to power is matched by his internal disintegration.
