Description: First published in 1969 in severely abridged form, Clarence Major's first novel is now available in an unexpurgated edition that restores the full text of his critically acclaimed and controversial work. Written in first-person narrative, All-Night Visitors is the riveting and compelling story of Eli Bolton - orphan, college dropout, Vietnam veteran, and sexual voyager - as he struggles to establish a meaningful self-identity in a chaotic and bigoted world.
