About the Book

Excerpt from book: ra The party has adjourned to Stovall's dog-kennel- sized apartment on West Eleventh Street with oranges and ice, Peter Piper having suddenly remembered a little place he knows where what gin is to be bought is neither diluted Croton water nor hell-fire. The long drinks gather pleasantly on the table, are consumed by all but Johnny, gather again. The talk grows more fluid, franker. Phil Sellaby? ? oh, the great Phil's just had a child ? I mean his wife has, but Phil's been having a book all winter and it's hard not to get 'em mixed up. Know the girl he married? Ran Waldo had a necking acquaintance with her at one time or another, I believe. But now she's turned serious, I hear ? tres serieuse ? tres bonne femme ? I bet his book'll be a cuckoo, then. Trouble with women. Can't do any art and be married if you're in love with your wife. Instink ? instinct of creation ? same thing in both cases ? use it one way, not enough left for other ? unless, of course, like Goethe, you ? Rats! Look at Rossetti ? Browning ?Augustus John ? William Morris ? Browning! Dear man, when the public knows the truth about the Brownings! Ricky French is getting a little drunk but it shows itself only in a desire to make every sentence unearthly cogent with perfect words. Unhappy marriage ? ver' good ? stimula- shion, he says, carefully but unsteadily, other thing ?tosh! Peter Piper jerks a thumb in Oliver's direction. Oh, beg pardon! Engaged, you told me? Beg pardon ? sorry ? very. Writes ? Uh-huh. Book of poetry three years ago. Novel now he's trying to sell. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Remember. ' Dancers' Holiday ' ? he wrote that? Good stuff, damn good. Too bad. Feenee. Why will they get married? The conversation veers toward a mortuary...
