Reviews
"A cracklingly cynical tale of the manipulations behind the mounting of what is ultimately a hit Broadway play…Stein's ear for the deadpan dialogue of men who think only in terms of money is exact, his plot is nicely turned, with several surprise endings, and the Broadway detail is solid…Slick, hard-boiled entertainment."
Publishers Weekly
"A novel that moves like a great Broadway comedy, rich with superbly etched characters and cannonball momentum…Razor-sharp."
