Media Reviews
?Sordid, pathetic, senselessly exciting...has the immediacy - and the significance - of a nerve-shattering explosion? New Republic ?Were it not in its physical details so carefully documented, it would be lurid beyond itself? Nation ?Language is not minced in this short novel which presents life in its most brutal aspect? Saturday Review of Literature

A founder of the celebrated Dallas Little Theatre, his novels include I Should Have Stayed Home (1938), Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (1948), and They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1935), which was made into a film. He died in 1955.
