  • "NO ONE HAS SATIRIZED New York society quite like Dawn Powell, and in this classic novel she turns her sharp eye and stinging wit on the literary world, and "identifies every sort of publishing type with the patience of a pathologist removing organs for inspection." Frederick Olliver, an obscure historian and writer, is having an affair with the restively married, beautiful, and hugely successful playwright, Lyle Gaynor. Powell sets a see-saw in motion when Olliver is swept up by the tasteless publishing tycoon, Tyson Bricker, and his new book makes its way onto to the bestseller lists just as Lyle's Broadway career is coming apart."
  • "Satire on New York night life and literary crowd."
  • "Les héros évoluent dans le milieu littéraire new-yorkais des années quarante. Frédéric Olliver, un écrivain désargenté, entretient une liaison avec Lyle, mariée à un homme de théâtre. Une nouvelle rencontre dans la vie de Frédéric va bouleverser leurs vies respectives. Tous les deux se retrouvent, perdus, en marge de la société."
