The Bronx and Seventh Avenue as a background for a story of as unpleasant a character as has often held the center of the stage in a novel. The rise -- and no means barred -- of Harry Bogan from poverty to affluence. With no consideration of loyalty, friends, kindliness he climbs high, losing his one human touch with his mother by his selfishness, sacrificing his partner to his lust for a musical comedy star. A three dimensional figure -- if you can bear it. Not for conservatives.
