"Full of the kind of swift and lusty writing that comes from a healthy, fresh pen."Lillian Hellman, New York Herald Tribune
A delightful surprise, Faulkner's second novel introduces us to a colorful band of passengers on a boating excursion from New Orleans. This engaging, high-spirited novelwhich Faulkner wrote "for the sake of writing because it was fun"offers a fascinating glimpse of Faulkner as a young artist.
