Synopsis
Richard Everett, aged 11, shoots and kills his mother with a mail-order gun. He confesses, but is not believed. Seven years later, he is still free, living in a filthy room and growing obese. His mother Nada, a writer, was an elusive woman, gravitating towards the monied people of town. Richard's father, Elwood, worshipped Nada, but was also a distant father.

Industry Reviews
"The novel has among its other qualities, a great deal of old fashioned suspense....Nada is the core of the novel...She is a writer of national reputation. An extremely effective and relevent story by her is printed to prove her talent...Miss Oates has no trouble becoming a semi-insane, boy genius murderer, but she doesn't quite bring off a talented woman writer...Technically, Miss Oates has many problems, with which she was usually, but not always, successful..."
New York Times Book Review - John Knowles (11/03/1968)
