He started to lean over, his eyes bright and watery: "Is that a banana split or isn't it?" He paused and looked down at his feet, then looked up and said, in imitation of the manner of Busby Berkeley heroes: "Man, that's box office...
Necessary? murder? In January, 1968, Auden was quoted in Newsweek as saying that American troops must remain in Vietnam. "I thought politically that one would have to stay till there was negotiation; I didn't say I supported the war," he remarked. "But things of course have gotten a lot worse.

Such a character could easily have emerged as a mere cipher-caricature in a satiric, ham-handed social catalogue of the times. Not in this appealing first novel. Author Wolff, Newsweek's book editor, invokes Freeman and his long-suffering family with subtlety. Their relations with one another, it turns out, are also bad debts. His wife Ann, sexually and emotionally little more than an object of Freeman's consumption, has left him. His son Caxton, a conniving p.r. flack for a top political candidate, helps support his father-primarily because of the embarrassment the old man could...
