Harry Towns, screenwriter. Fairly successful, living in a rural town with his wife and young daughter, approaching old age, Harry still feels the pressure of paying the bills as he clings to his successes of the past.
In such a mood, he heads off to New York City to hang with questionable old friends and indulge in questionable practices that lead to big city antics a man his age ought to have outgrown.
This first half of the book was certainly the most interesting as Harry indulges himself with his big city sins. But then the story veers off into his youth and his first foray into becoming a writer and young Harry was just not as interesting to me as old Harry.
Review from Kirkus.
