To survive in this world, you've got to come to an accommodation, a compromise - an arrangement. For sexual and emotional survival, you need a marriage. For economic survival, you need a job, a career, success. This is the stunning, unforgettable story of one man crashing out of his arrangement. Eddie Anderson, smothering behind the mask of "the man who has everything," a dynamic executive, a brilliant writer, married to loving patient Florence, obsessed by exciting and beautiful Gwen, explodes his arrangement. It's a devastating story. It just might jolt you out of your arrangement... "An exuberant and gutsy celebration of life... Superbly earthy in its treatment of love and sex, nicely offset by a prevailing mood of tenderness." - Publisher's Weekly "For all its shock value (and its sex is frequent and specific), this is a novel you will gulp down and remember." - John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate "It is impossible, in a short space, to give a work so rich, complex and subtle, its due; here is one of the finest novels out for a long time." - The New Republic "Chock-full of action, sex, punchy set-pieces... rollicking zest... nice, subtle surprises of observation." - Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times
