i was made to read this 44 years ago and thought it despicable. like 1984 and native son and slaughterhouse 5, it was a case of a brilliant master attempting a blockbuster and achieving an incredible mess, becoming fixated on a wrenching message and brutally failing to get to its essence. the fact that all four WERE blockbusters testifies only to the public's credibility and the power of publishers' blandishments to wreck sublime ability. the hero is made to endure the unendurable and breaks. it is not believable in any of these books, given the hero's character. it only works as a metaphor for the author's relations to his publisher.
