Richard's father is a newspaper editor who disapproves of his son's romanticism and wants him to pursue a more practical career. His mother is a loving and supportive figure who wants Richard to be happy.As the day progresses, Richard experiences a series of ups and downs, including a failed attempt to woo a young woman and a drunken brawl with his brother.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An affectionate and witty comedy of recollection from one of the twentieth century's most significant writers. Richard Miller is deeply enamoured with his 'best girl', the pretty and pure Muriel. But when her cantankerous father finds out about their plans to spend Independence Day together, he demands that she write to him breaking off the whole thing. Richard is distraught, heartbroken, and seems about ready to knuckle under to strong liquor and fast women... Can his father Nat reach across the generation gap and bring his son back to the family and Muriel? This edition includes a full introduction, biographical sketch and chronology.
