Halliday won his success as a writer - and won the wife who loved him - after the First War. Then came the wild Twenties and years of high-pressure speakeasy carousing. Halliday was attractive, Halliday was charming, Halliday was weak. He flashed through the skies like a comet.
This overwhelmingly moving chronicle was written by Budd Schulberg, author of What Makes Sammy Run? and The Harder They Fall - written, says Cleveland Press, "with such literary skill as to justify the widespread belief among critics that Budd Schulberg is major American novelist.
...an astonishingly good novel. The dialogue is beautifully funny, the style, seamless. I can't recommend this underrated novel enough.
