description: 1964, English edition, Secker &amp; Warburg, London. 318-page hardcover novel. Gold's works over the years have been used in college reading programs. Here, in this novel, he profiles the world of Manhattan, as seen through the eyes of 3 main characters. These are folks who have been elsewhere and come to New York to blend in with all the other "successful" people. None of this makes any of them particularly happy and the story is one of caution; what you're looking for may not be so sweet at the end. Solid characterization, certainly a good look at the people looking for upward mobility in the 1960s.
