In this Beat Generation novel, Mario, a college student, rebels angrily against all conventions and rituals. He is at odds with his parents, leaves Columbia College, and goes aimlessly down into Harlem, where he has a series of exciting and dangerous encounters with the underworld. He rejects the academic world for the more passionate world, but the danger catches up with him. His relationship with an English Professor and a
beautiful girl reflects this dichotomy. "DeMaria tells his story with
considerable skill." --Granville Hicks, Saturday Review
