With verve,warmth and amiable irony,this novel tells a very contemporary (then
1961) story of New York and the theatre world.It is the story of Ben Horne,a young man always willing to learn.His two love affairs,one of which bites agonizingly into his life,make up a crucial part of his education; and so does his probing of how his generation differs from the one before.In Ben Horne,Roy Doliner has drawn a refreshing protagonist,for here is a young man who feels intensely and yet does not take himself with overpowering seriousness.
'Young Man Willing' is quick,sharp and immediate.It catches the Broadway and hipster societies in a way both economical
and graphic.But underlying this is a strong substance of feeling and concern that never becomes pretentious.Roy Doliner is a young novelist who knows how to take hold of the reader at once and keep that hold.Author's debut novel and first published work.
